Challenging DUI Evidence in Fort Myers and Naples, FL
At Parks & Braxton, PA, we have nearly a half century of combined experience, and when you come to us for help you can benefit from the fact that our team has successfully defended thousands of clients in cases similar to yours. It might seem like there is no way of beating the charges, but with our proven track record of success we may be able to find a way to effectively challenge the evidence against you and either secure an exoneration or a dismissal of the charges. Even if this isn’t possible, a Naples DUI attorney from our firm can still negotiate with the prosecutor in pursuit of a favorable plea bargain which will minimize the damage this situation has on your future, as well as assisting you in actions for driver’s license restoration.
When you know your rights, you will have a far greater chance of being able to beat the charges and avoid a conviction. For example, you may not realize that there is a possibility that the police officer violated your constitutional rights, but if we can prove that the officer did not have probable cause to investigate you we might be able to have the charges dismissed. Similarly, it is important to realize that you are legally presumed innocent until proven guilty-we will place the burden of proof on the prosecutor to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that you committed the crime, attempting to invalidate the evidence and raise questions such as whether the breathalyzer test results may be unreliable.
The first thing you must do following an arrest for DUI is to contact us for a confidential consultation, where we can discuss your concerns and review your options for fighting the charges. This may be a highly stressful situation, and you may feel that everyone is against you, but we are on your side and want to help you find your way out of the criminal justice system as quickly as possible. Your chances of avoiding a conviction may be far better than you realize, but we will give you an honest evaluation of the situation and assist you in making decisions about how to proceed. You can reach us at any time 24/7, and our Fort Myers DUI lawyers are ready to take immediate action in your case.

Challenging Evidence of DUI with Drugs
Unlike in a case of drinking and driving, an individual who is suspected of DUI of drugs cannot be given a breathalyzer test to determine impairment. Chemical tests of the blood or urine may reveal whether the driver has taken drugs, but will not necessarily determine whether the drugs were taken an hour ago, a day ago or a week ago, and may not be able to measure whether there is enough of the drug to cause impairment.
The primary evidence in this type of case is frequently the police officer’s own observations of erratic behavior and other indicators such as slurred speech, but by aggressively cross-examining the officer in court, we may be able to reveal that your arrest was based more on the officer’s subjective opinions rather than on objective evidence. If you failed a field sobriety test, we might be able to subpoena the footage from the police car dashboard video camera to demonstrate that conditions such as inappropriate footwear, inclement weather or intimidating behavior from the officer prejudiced the test against you. There are several ways to approach the situation, but you have to take the first step now by contacting our firm for help! An experienced Naples DUI lawyer is prepared to help you today.
