As a DUI attorney in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, I have handled thousands of DUI cases prosecuted by the Broward County State Attorney's Office. This experience not limited to work as a DUI defense attorney, but also includes work as a DUI prosecutor. In fact, when I served as a DUI prosecutor, my job included supervising and training other attorneys in how to fight and win DUI cases.
I know the prosecutor's play book!Building the prosecution's case also taught me how to break it down!
As a result of this experience and my knowledge of the law, I wrote the
"Top 10 Rules for Beating a DUI Charge" in Broward County.
These strategies can work for you!
Whether you choose to hire me or not, these rules are a MUST READ for any person facing DUI charges in Fort Lauderdale, Florida (Broward County, Florida).
Call me if you have any questions.
After years of experience in the courtroom, I developed the following rules for beating a DUI case, no matter if that DUI is a first offense, a repeat DUI offense, a DUI Manslaughter, a Felony DUI, or any other type of DUI:
1) Know your Judge and know your Prosecutor!
2) Determine if the police conducted an illegal traffic stop.
3) Identify any physical signs of impairment consistent with DUI.
4) Determine if police properly administered field sobriety tests.
5) Analyze the defendants performance on field sobriety tests.
5) Determine if any breath test, blood test, or urine test is admissible.
6) Identify any illegally obtained statements or confessions.
7) Determine if police conducted an illegal search and seizure.
8) Always depose the prosecution's witnesses, when possible.
9) Verify the admissibility of a prior conviction, if applicable.
10) Evaluate the defendant for mental health defenses.
In the following sections, I will explain the applicability of each of these rules. It is important to note, that due to its length, this Top 10 list has been broken down into more than one article. Links to the next article are found at the end.
Know Your Judge and Know Your Prosecutor!
Before we even begin to ask any questions about the particulars of your case, the very first thing any winning attorney must know is "Who's the judge?" The next thing you need to know is, "Who's the prosecutor?"
