Many people who have been arrested for drunk driving mistakenly believe that they have no choice but to accept the conviction and the consequences. This can be especially true for people who are facing their first offense. The truth is that a good defense lawyer can challenge much of the evidence that the prosecution needs to present its case. If you are facing charges for driving under the influence (DUI) or any other drunk driving offense, seek the advice of a qualified DUI defense lawyer before you do anything else. At the law firm of Hoff Curtis, P.C., we have represented clients throughout Vermont who were arrested for suspicion of drunk driving, including students, commercial drivers and others. We understand how a drunk driving conviction can impact your future. We utilize trial-tested strategies designed to dismantle the prosecution’s case. With every client we serve, our only concern is to secure the best available outcome on your behalf. Building The Strongest Possible Defense In Your DUI/DWI Case The law is clear with regard to the guidelines law enforcement officers must follow when conducting a drunk driving investigation. If they overstep their authority or make any kind of error during the investigation, it can constitute a violation of your rights and may provide the keys to your freedom. If we find any indication that your rights may have been violated, we will take immediate action to have the charges against you dismissed. If a dismissal is out of reach, we will do everything in our power to minimize the impact of the charges against you. In previous cases, we have successfully defended clients by challenging the following aspects of the case: The validity of the initial traffic stop Whether the field sobriety and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) were properly administered Whether the people who administered the tests were qualified to do so Whether the equipment used in the testing was accurate
