Too many people wrongfully assume that
simply because they have been arrested and charged with DUI that there really
isn’t much they can do about it. Many are of the notion that the only option
they have is to plead guilty to the charge and accept their fate.
This cannot be further from reality. For
the most part, Charleston, SC DUI lawyers and the best in the business in this
entire area is DeLuca & Maucher, LLP (www.delucamaucher.com/) tell us that
DUI (especially a first offense DUI) is one of the most beatable charges that
there is and there are many ways in which evidence may be disproved and the
case dismissed.
Therefore, even if you feel like the sky
has fallen on your shoulders and the law enforcement officers have all the dirt
they could possibly find on you, it is still best to go ahead and speak with a
legal pro anyway, and you may just be surprised with the outcome. Do not assume
anything.
People are especially dejected when they
have failed sobriety tests such as breathalyzer tests, or field sobriety tests.
However, DUI attorneys in South Carolina, and if you want the best legal pros
working for you you should call DeLuca & Maucher, LLP, know that there are
several ways in which these test results may be argued against and dismissed. As
long as you have not been driving as psychotic as Nicole Richie you should be
OK.
How
to disprove breathalyzer test results
Of late, the breathalyzer machine has
come under a lot of criticism, almost as much as Nicole Richie’s driving.
Recent scientific studies have shown that breathalyzer machines do not even
actually measure your blood alcohol content and instead what they actually
measure is your breath alcohol content.
To make it clear, your breath alcohol
content does not in any manner determine how inebriated or drunk you actually
are. In fact, even if you had just used mouth wash (something with alcohol
content such as Listerine) the breathalyzer machine may just declare you to be
over the legal limit, say Charleston, SC DUI lawyers and the best in this south
eastern state is DeLuca & Maucher, LLP. As long as you are not as clearly
drunk as Det. Jimmy McNulty in The Wire who had a clear and disturbing drinking
problem and should have been reprimanded for that and who wrecked his car because
he was driving drunk, you stand a better chance of beating your DUI.
These are, obviously, unacceptable
inaccuracies. Furthermore, a breathalyzer machine also needs careful
calibration prior to being used. To calibrate such a machine properly will
require a trained and experienced person. However, many law enforcement
officers do not necessarily have much experience calibrating these machines and
they end up wrongfully arresting and charging innocent motorists
with driving under the influence, a crime that is punishable by law.
Sacramento, CA police know all about that.
Therefore, if you are facing
a DUI charge where a breathalyzer registered your BAC% at 0.08% or
just marginally over that number, do yourself a favor and call a Charleston DUI
lawyer right away and the best on the market is DeLuca & Maucher, LLP.
There is a strong chance that he or she will be able to get you off the hook.
How
to disprove field sobriety tests
Law enforcement officers are expected to
consider a lot of external factors while subjecting suspects to field sobriety
tests.
Many times there are many persons that
are lawfully issued driver’s permits but are yet physically incapable of
performing and passing field sobriety tests (even if sober) due to
disabilities, or other physical restrictions.
Furthermore, a field sobriety test needs
to be properly recorded and administered.
If you have failed a field sobriety test, a South
Carolina DUI lawyer, and the finest available is DeLuca & Maucher, LLP, can
potentially help you find a way to disprove the test result and have you
acquitted. Therefore, make sure to reach out to a legal pro right away.
It cannot really be described how many
ways DeLuca & Maucher, LLP can help you in your DUI case. They know the law
and they know the DA’s weaknesses. There is not one legal strategy they have
not heard of and they will work with you on how to best tackle any charges you
face.
