DUI Lawyers in Cleveland: Aggressive Defense for a Complicated Charge
What makes a DUI so complicated? Start with all of the complexities that go into a typical criminal case: probable cause, police officers and their reports, evidence collection. Then add in the incredibly difficult to understand DUI code sections that have huge portions of text in the Ohio Revised Code, the Ohio Administrative Code, and the Department of Health Regulations. On top of this the State of Ohio uses THREE different breathalyzer machines to determine whether or not someone is over the legal limit. DUI lawyers in Cleveland are able to gather, analyze, and attack the evidence that the prosecutor wants to use against you.
DUI LAWYERS IN CLEVELAND: We attack the evidence.
Many times a client will call us and tell us that they simply want help “getting a good plea deal” because they “blew over the legal limit”. There is this misconception out there, and often times it is perpetuated by inexperienced, untrained, defense attorneys that do not know how to attack the evidence. As an example: John Doe calls us and tells us he has been charged with a DUI and that he blew a 0.21 – a high number. He had been told by friends, family, and other attorneys that he “had no hope and was dead to rights” – we disagreed. He was in a tough spot, he needed his license to keep his job and his house. We took his case and discovered that the breathalyzer used: in this case the Intoxilyzer 8000 did not function properly and even though other attorneys had looked at this same evidence we caught it. The result was that the client was able to resolve the case to something that was not a DUI – he kept his license, his job, and his marriage together.
Each case is different and success in one case does not promise success in other, however, we have obtained success for our clients because we are willing to go that extra mile to make sure that they are not allowing themselves to be convicted on weak, flawed, or false evidence.
