DUI Lawyer in Southfield

Are you currently facing criminal charges related to DUI/OWI? Take this opportunity to contact a Southfield DUI lawyer who can help you fight your charges. With our experience and our understanding of the legal system and drunk driving charges in particular, our firm is here to defend you.

DUI cases are built upon specific evidence gathered by law enforcement and presented by the prosecuting attorney, all in an attempt to secure a conviction or convince the defendant to accept a plea bargain (plead guilty, usually to a lesser charge or sentence). This evidence may include:

The arresting officer's testimony about the defendant's driving behavior, statements made before, during or after arrest, performance on field sobriety tests and overall demeanor or behavior.
The outcome of a breath test or blood test administered to determine the defendant's blood alcohol concentration.
Any relevant physical evidence: police reports, alcohol allegedly found in the vehicle, etc.

The arresting officer is typically the key witness for the prosecution. The statements he or she makes under oath may make it seem as though there will be no chance of avoiding a conviction. An experienced DUI lawyer who understands the ins and outs of drunk driving cases in the Southfield area, however, will be able to take a strategic and aggressive approach to the cross-examination of the arresting officer and any other witnesses the prosecuting attorney brings to the stand. With a complete knowledge of the proper procedures regarding the arrest, field sobriety testing and blood/breath testing of a DUI defendant, your defense attorney may be able to effectively discredit testimony or physical evidence and therefore secure a positive result to your case.
