Commonly referred to as DUI, driving under the influence may be punishable by imprisonment in county jail or state prison, heavy fines and court fees, driver's license suspension, probation, community service and mandatory drug or alcohol treatment/rehabilitation.

Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are helpful for law enforcement officers in determining whether an individual was under the influence of alcohol or not. However, what many people do not realize is that they are not always one hundred percent accurate. Because of this, the team is often able to get DUI charges dropped based on faulty evidence. There are three main standardized field sobriety tests used in the U.S. The horizontal gaze nystagmus test looks for exaggerated jerking in the eye when following an object. The one leg stand tests balance and concentration by requiring the driver to stand on one foot while counting out loud. The walk and turn test includes walking along a straight line heel to toe while counting steps. However, if an attorney from the firm can prove that you failed a test for another reason besides intoxication, your charges could be dropped. Click here to learn more about field sobriety tests.
