Connecticut Advocate Challenges Drunk Driving Charges

At my firm, I may be able to have charges thrown out by demonstrating that an equipment or procedural error resulted in an unfair charge. I will examine whether or not law enforcement followed proper protocol in regard to several key points:


  • 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 — For an arrest to be valid, an officer must have probable cause.
  • The evidence - We will carefully evaluate all aspects and circumstances of your case to challenge the evidence against you.


My firm will strive to get you the respect you deserve and the results you desire.

Counselor Provides 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.
  • Take the sobriety test - As long as there was no accident and you have no prior DUI convictions.
  • Get a blood test after release — It’s a good idea to measure your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) with a blood test after arrest. At trial, your attorney may use that evidence to raise possible defenses.
