An Alpharetta DUI arrest can be incredibly stressful. Jim Yeargan’s team of legal professionals understands complex DUI law and will fight tirelessly on your behalf to protect your legal rights.
An effective defense to DUI arrests begins with an exhaustive examination of all of the evidence available to us, such as police reports, squad car video and witness statements. Witnesses can provide crucial clues that help your Alpharetta DUI lawyer disprove an officer’s observations and testimony while also uncovering errors in their initial investigation of your case.
Georgia law requires police officers to have “probable cause” when arresting you for DUI. This evidence typically comes from their observations of your appearance and interactions, including whether they observed you unsteady on your feet, had slurred speech or appeared confused; however these symptoms could have been caused by the accident itself or airbag deployment, therefore making this argument against DUI allegations effective in defense.
One effective strategy in challenging DUI allegations is by challenging the accuracy of blood, breath or urine testing procedures. Such testing must occur within three hours after driving; furthermore, its machine must be calibrated correctly to provide reliable readings. An Alpharetta DUI lawyer with expertise in challenging such results may show that such machines were improperly operated.
Your Alpharetta DUI attorney will analyze whether the officer had valid reasons to pull you over in the first place, such as traffic violations or an unstable driving pattern.
DUI charges may be resolved through a plea bargain with the prosecutor, where your Alpharetta DUI lawyer can negotiate on your behalf for reduced sentences that have less of an impact on your life.
