DUI Arrests in Georgia raise a variety of issues from Constitutional protections to Roadside Sobriety Examinations and therefore each DUI Case requires a careful and detailed approach.
We understand that many people, who have no criminal history can be arrested for DUI in Georgia. Â We believe that a Georgia DUI Lawyer is a crucial part of the DUI process. Â At Breakfield & Associates, Attorneys, here is what we do:
1. The potential client meets with one of our GA DUI Arrest attorneys, not a paralegal or investigator. We review any and all documentation they have at that point in the case. This includes the citation, bonding paperwork, receipts of where they were at the time, police reports, etc.
2. Once retained, we start communicating with the prosecutor and request all evidence they have in the case. Some of the things we look for in the State’s evidence includes:
a. Reasonable Articulable Suspicion to Stop
b. Reasonable Articulable Suspicion to Detain
c. Implied Consent
d. Probable Cause
e. Other potential Constitutional Issues such as Miranda Rights
f. Roadside Sobriety Tests (HGN, Walk & Turn, One Leg Stand) and Blood/Breath/Urine Tests
3. Our Georgia DUI Lawyers look at the big picture of the facts of the arrest and determine if we can argue before the court that the officer make important mistake and/ or lacked probable cause to arrest the person for DUI. Typically, we will file a lawyer John Breakfield Explains the Hearing Process” href=”https://gainesvillegalawyer.com/georgia-motion-to-suppress-evidence-hearing-georgia-lawyer-on-hearing-process/”>Motion to Suppress, which requires that the prosecution prove that their evidence is both legally admissible and strong enough to back up the charges against our client.
