When law enforcement stops and arrests you for suspicion of drunk driving, you could face serious penalties that include paying expensive fines or possibly even going to jail. You may want to do everything possible to stay out of jail and go home to your family as soon as possible.
However, you cannot risk a judge simply taking your word for it that you were not drunk at the time of your arrest. Instead, you may defend yourself in court better when you hire one of the Palos Hills DUI attorneys to represent you.
Challenging Your BAC
The officer who made your arrest may have failed to administer the field sobriety test fairly and accurately. You might have had a blood alcohol limit that was well below the legal amount. However, the officer might have misread the Breathalyzer results or changed the numbers on his or her field report.
Your lawyer, however, can review the report and also look at any footage of your arrest to make sure it was all legal and accurate. He or she can make challenges to the BAC results if your legal team suspects the numbers are not right.
