DWI Defense Attorney In Durham, North Carolina

Defending against DWI charges in North Carolina has grown increasingly complex, requiring an in-depth understanding of both state laws and the evolving technologies law enforcement uses to assess impairment. Common DWI defense challenges include:

• Breathalyzer Accuracy: Breathalyzer machines are not infallible; calibration errors, improper use, or medical conditions can impact their readings. An experienced DWI attorney will investigate these factors and question the reliability of BAC results.
• Blood Test Reliability: Blood alcohol tests, while often considered accurate, are not without issues. Contamination, improper storage, or mishandling can all compromise the validity of these results, providing a potential defense angle.
• Field Sobriety Tests: Law enforcement officers often use field sobriety tests to gauge impairment, yet these tests are inherently subjective and can be influenced by factors like medical conditions, fatigue, or weather conditions.
• Probable Cause for Traffic Stop: If an officer did not have a valid reason to pull you over, any evidence gathered after the stop could be inadmissible in court. We analyze the details of the stop to ensure your constitutional rights were upheld.
