I have handled thousands of DUI cases. I know exactly what the prosecutor in your case is likely going to be offering and how to attack the weaknesses in the prosecutor’s case against you. There are many legal defenses to a DUI. One of the most common ways to attack a DUI is to attack the “stop.” A peace officer must have “reasonable suspicion” to believe you are driving under the influence to pull you over. The most common thing officers report seeing is swerving or weaving. However, what if an impatient driver is honking their horn? Or they say your tail light is out and it is not? That may not be enough to give an officer reasonable suspicion to believe the crime of DUI has been committed. If the stop is not supported by reasonable suspicion, then anything that happens after the stop is illegal and the case must be dismissed. - Thomas J. Thomas
