If you were someone you love is considering hiring a DUI lawyer in Tennessee to help with a DUI case, you need to know the facts. You may be wondering why you even need a lawyer. Can’t you just represent yourself? Generally speaking representing yourself in a criminal action is not a good idea. DUI laws in particular are complex and technical and should therefore only be left to a professional DUI attorney like the offices of Baker Associates, a tough smart law firm representing all of Tennessee in DUI actions. Many times we can only do that the breath test that is administered by the state should be inadmissible because it was incorrect or improperly done. This could be due to an error in the machine or the arresting officer could have not been properly trained or might have administered the test improperly. Sometimes police violate their own procedures like forgetting to read your implied consent rights or failing to call in a supervisor if the test indicates an error message. We also look to determine whether the police had probable cause to pull you over in the first place. Did they set up an illegal roadblock, were you speeding, what happened that caused them to pick your car out to be stopped. Another defense might be that someone else was driving your car. Perhaps the driver switched places with the passenger in the car prior to the stop or right after the stop. The prosecution must prove that you were in control of the vehicle. All of these defenses could be challenging because the defendant is usually seen behind the wheel and might have already admitted to driving the car. Since DUI involves impairment, we will talk to witnesses and determine what were seen by potential witnesses before you were stopped. If they didn’t notice your impairment, how did the police notice this impairment? We are using the court to fight for your defense. Call the attorneys at Baker Associates. We have a strong team of lawyers and investigators that will go out and investigate the scene, look at all the facts surrounding your case, and we will fight to defend your rights.
