Phoenix Drunk Driving Defense Lawyers
The consequences of a DUI are greater than many people realize. Even if you avoid jail and pay a reduced fine, the cost in increased insurance premiums alone means your DUI conviction stays with you for years to come. At the Law Offices of Beresky & Fish, P.C. we realize what a DUI can mean and develop defenses intended to reduce the charges against you or have them dismissed altogether. Of course, every case is different. Depending on whether you were given a blood test, breathalyzer, field sobriety tests, or were pulled over for reckless driving will depend on how we build our defense. Using investigators and our own forensic experts, we challenge the evidence and put the prosecution on the defensive, identifying weaknesses in their case against you.

Challenging Blood Alcohol Content Tests
Blood, urine, and breathalyzer tests all have their peculiar weaknesses that can be exploited in court. How a breath test is given can affect the results, as well as whether or not it has been calibrated correctly. If the police department cannot produce maintenance records to prove a machine is in good working order, the prosecution cannot verify if the results were accurate.
In the case of blood and urine tests the integrity of the lab, how a sample is handled, as well as whether or not other chemicals effected the accuracy of the results are also at issue. Our DUI defense attorneys submit samples for independent testing while meticulously reviewing how your test was conducted in order to identify mistakes or violations of protocol.
Challenging Roadside Pullovers
In theory, the police cannot simply pull you over for any reason they believe worthwhile. Unless authorities have established a check point, officers must have a reasonable suspicion that a traffic violation was committed before they can pull you over. Our DUI defense attorneys carefully review police reports, eye-witness statements, and on-board video to determine whether or not police had a justifiable reason to stop your car.
Failures in Protocols and Procedure
Whether an officer conducts field sobriety tests or not, a charge of DUI requires that certain procedures and protocols be followed from how a stop is conducted, how BAC is determined, and how your rights are protected throughout the process. At the Law Offices of Beresky & Fish, we review every detail of a DUI charge, identifying violations in protocols and procedures that compromise evidence and our clients' rights.
