Ortner Law Group may be able to have charges thrown out by demonstrating that an equipment or procedural error resulted in an unfair charge.
We will examine whether law enforcement followed proper protocol in regard to: The stop — Police must be able to demonstrate that they pulled you over based on “reasonable suspicion” that you were acting in violation of the law. The sobriety test — There are specific rules that police must follow when administering field sobriety tests, including when measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The equipment — Breathalyzer machines have provided inaccurate results in the past, and their reliability can be questioned. The arrest — An officer does not have to inform you of your Miranda rights, for an arrest to be valid. The evidence — Blood samples and other types of evidence must be stored in certain conditions in order to maintain their integrity.

Trusted counselors provide advice on handling DUI stops
If you are ever pulled over by the police on suspicion of drunk driving, there are several ways you can help yourself:
Remain calm and be polite — If you are nervous, police officers may think that you are hiding something or are intoxicated.
Don’t allow a search without a warrant — Any evidence police find in your car can be used to support a DUI conviction or may result in more charges.
Take the sobriety test — Refusing to take a test may make an officer more suspicious and lead to an arrest. The results of a test can always be challenged later. However, if you are highly intoxicated, refuse all tests.
Get a blood test after release — It’s a good idea to measure your BAC with a blood test after arrest. At trial, your attorney may use that evidence to raise possible defenses.
If you are arrested and charged with a OVI or DWI, it is wise to contact a OVI attorney immediately. The attorneys at Kenneth N. Ortner & Associates, LLC can start working on your defense as soon as you enlist our services.
