Drunk Driving Defense — Our Approach

Although you may think you've hit the end of the road when charged with drunk driving, the fact is, there may be many factors in your favor. At DeToto & Van Buren, we look for them, leaving no stone unturned:

  • The police officer may have made a simple mistake that violated your rights.
  • The initial vehicle stop may have been made illegally.
  • Your blood alcohol content (BAC) may be have been inaccurately calculated.
  •  The field sobriety or breathalyzer test may have been administered improperly. We have taken the breath test training provided by the DA's office and we know the field sobriety testing procedures inside and out.

We know that DUI charges often turn on the smallest piece of evidence, or violation of your rights. Our attention to detail from the very start makes us different from many other criminal defense firms.
