They review police reports, witness statements, breathalyzer results, and other evidence to identify any weaknesses in the prosecution's case.
This thorough analysis allows them to build a strong defense on behalf of their clients.
Negotiation with Prosecution
Another important role of a DUI lawyer is negotiating with the prosecution on behalf of their client. They may seek to have charges reduced or dismissed altogether, negotiate plea deals, or argue for alternative sentencing options such as diversion programs or probation. Their goal is always to achieve the best possible outcome for their client given the circumstances of the case.Court Representation
Finally, a DUI lawyer represents their clients in court proceedings. They advocate for their clients during hearings, trials, and sentencing proceedings, presenting evidence and arguments in support of their defense strategy.
A skilled DUI lawyer can effectively challenge witness testimony, cross-examine expert witnesses, and make persuasive arguments before the judge or jury.
