An Experienced Attorney to Challenge Your DWI Charge
During a DWI stop, police officers may fail to apply consistent and legally recognized standards to field sobriety testing, breath tests or even an arrest. An arrest based on faulty testing or a judgment call may not hold up in court, and so it becomes critical to have an attorney on your side who understands how to challenge a DWI arrest.
At the Sweeney Law Group, LLC in Nashua, New Hampshire, our criminal defense lawyer is a former prosecutor with significant experience in and out of the courtroom. We understand what is required to build a strong DWI case, and we are quick to recognize the flaws and weaknesses of a prosecution's case. If you were mishandled at any stage during your arrest, we can help you build a strong and effective defense to reduce or dismiss the charges against you.
From the Stop to the Breath Test
At every stage of a DWI stop or arrest, you still have important rights. Our office has substantial experience handling DWI/DUI claims, and whether you are facing a first offense or a multiple DWI charge, we can aggressively evaluate and pursue your case.
We ask questions, review evidence, watch video surveillance, investigate your case and seek a strategic and reliable path toward your defense. We review items such as:
- Was the initial stop warranted?
- Did police have probable cause to initiate a DWI investigation?
- Were field sobriety tests such as the pen test or the nine step walk properly conducted?
- Did police create unofficial field sobriety tests?
- Did the actual results of those tests warrant an arrest?
- Was a breath test performed correctly?
- Were you given a breath sample for independent verification?
Whether we are able to challenge the initial stop, the breathalyzer test or other element of your stop, we work to fully prepare your case for trial while working with prosecutors to seek a reduction or dismissal of charges.
