At Bowman & Associates, we know the best defense strategies to overcome your predicament.

The typical consequences of a DUI include fines and a suspension of your license.

These cases must be taken seriously, and aggressive representation from a skilled DUI attorney will be the key to success in your defense.

Our DUI team includes experienced, aggressive attorneys, as well as the necessary staff to help secure victory in your DUI case. Our attorneys will fight for your rights in court if necessary to see that you are not unfairly convicted of a crime. You can be confident that your rights will be protected. Our first course of action will be to drop the charges, and otherwise we will seek reduced sentencing or go to trial. You are innocent until proven guilty by the law, and we intend to protect your innocence at all costs.Officers will pull any reason they can for pulling you over in suspicion of DUI. In some cases, your charges will be dropped if the officer did not act properly according to the law. Some important factors that can prove your innocence or dismissing your case include:

• If you were not actually driving the vehicle, you cannot be charged with a DUI. For example, if you had given up control of the vehicle to another, sober person, this could make your case to be invalid.
• If the officer did not have reasonable cause to pull you over, your case can be dismissed.
• Improper calibrations or malfunctions in the tests used to determine your BAC can result in the findings being inadmissible in court.
• The failure of the officer to give you Miranda warnings (regarding your right to remain silent, etc.) is a violation of your rights and can shift the case in your favor.
• If mistakes were made in administering or testing the results of your case, they may be dismissed.

If you are speeding, swerving, driving recklessly, and violating traffic laws, officers will likely pull you over. You can refuse field sobriety tests, since in the end you will have your BAC tested and can avoid embarrassment or saying something that could negatively affect your case. If you have been arrested for a DUI, the first thing you should do is contact an attorney.
