Seeking the Best Possible Outcome After Drunk Driving Charges
Dennis Charles and Fredrick Charles' goal in every DUI defense situation is to achieve the best result possible for clients under the facts of their case and the applicable drunk driving laws. In some cases, that will mean seeking suppression of the evidence against you at an early stage of the case. If police officers did not have reasonable suspicion to pull your car over or probable cause to arrest you, they may have violated the law.
Dennis Charles and Fredrick Charles will also question the results of a Breathalyzer, blood or chemical test for blood alcohol content (BAC), any field sobriety tests performed, and other evidence. Sometimes, it will be necessary to present your defense to a jury and require the prosecution to prove beyond a reasonable doubt every element of the drunk driving offense charged.
Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition
If you are eligible, the best outcome may be diversion of your DUI/DWI case to Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD). First-time drunk driving offenders with no prior criminal record can apply for ARD, an informal probation program with no jail time and limited probation. If you successfully complete the ARD program, your DUI may be expunged (erased) from your record.
