You may not feel at this time that you have a strong opportunity to avoid a conviction for the charges you face. But the law provides protections to you that are very important. Some examples are…

Were the field sobriety tests properly administered?

Was the breathalyzer machine properly calibrated and tested for accuracy within the required time prior to your arrest?
Did medical conditions or medication contribute to the facts upon which the arrest was based?
