Big Mistakes Driving after imbibing alcohol is usually a big mistake. That said, it’s also a big mistake to assume that there is nothing you can do to defend yourself if the Breathalyzer or blood test results put you over the limit. Unfortunately, many people compound their first mistake by making this one soon after and simply waiting to take whatever the prosecutor offers. In truth, there are many ways in which DUI arrests and evidence can be effectively challenged lack of probable cause, defective test equipment, and poor testing protocols included. Aside from the possible defenses, it is also important to consider that conviction is not the only possible outcome.

As a skilled and experienced defense lawyer, Ms. Risoldi may be able to negotiate reduced charges, an accelerated rehabilitative disposition or another type of favorable resolution to the case.
