Georgia DUI Defense

So you've been arrested for a DUI and you want to hire a top DUI defense attorney. Good choice. But how do you know that they will defend you? In fact, how can they defend you when DUI crimes are so looked down upon? The following information from the Law Offices of Webb, Willis, and Kohn will help you understand how our expert attorneys will defend your DUI case.

An illegal traffic stop or boating stop

Remember, a police officer must have probable cause to pull you over. However, if you are pulled over an unrelated violation such as speeding, the officer does not need probably cause to ask if you've been drinking.

Insufficient evidence for the arrest

An officer's personal opinions can be questioned in court. For example, bloodshot eyes do not necessarily mean you've been drinking - you could just be tired. Our attorneys will challenge such opinions in court.

Improper testing

If a police officer improperly tested you, this can completely negate the results and they can be thrown out in court.

Being arrested when you were not driving

Some states require that the officer observed you as the one driving at the time you were pulled over, others do not require this. Our attorneys will know the specific laws regarding this.

Your BAC level

You can only be guilty of a DUI if your BAC level is above the legal limit at the time you were driving, not the time you were tested. Because alcohol takes time to work through your system, you may be below the limit upon being pulled over, but be above the legal limit if the test is given 10 minutes later. 

Remember, one of our DUI defense attorneys here at the Law Offices of Webb, Willis, and Kohn will explore all possible avenues for your defense.
