Facing criminal charges is often difficult. Many people who have been accused of drunk driving have not been through the system before. They are unsure about what could happen and they worry about the worst — the serious consequences of a conviction, like incarceration, loss of a driver's license or serious fines.
When we represent you in a criminal law matter, the lawyers at The Law Offices of Hyman, Carter & Patel, PLLC, explain the entire process so that you understand the legal steps you will need to complete. We will tell you what other people in similar situations have experienced, and we can help you predict what may happen in your case. At every step of the way, we will make sure that your questions are answered — taking some of the worry out of Tennessee DWI charges.
A Thorough and Comprehensive Approach to Your Drunk Driving Case
There are many things that may affect the outcome of your DWI case. From beginning to end, there are many opportunities for the police to make significant errors that could lead to a false drunk driving accusation.
For example, the police are required by law to have a reasonable, articulable suspicion to make a traffic stop. They can only pull over a car if there is a reason — like if a headlight is out, if the driver is swerving or if the car is speeding. If no reasonable suspicion exists for the stop, everything that occurred after it could be disregarded by the court.
Our attorneys consider many things when representing you in a drunk driving case:
- Initial traffic stop
- Field sobriety tests used
- Timing of the breath or blood tests given
- Breathalyzer calibration
- Miranda warnings before custodial interrogation
- Illegal searches of your vehicle of person
Because we take a thorough and comprehensive approach to legal representation, we are able to spot issues and leverage them to our clients' advantage. That is just one benefit of working with a team of experienced attorneys who are dedicated to achieving results for you.
