• The initial stop and any evidence of the accused's intoxication
• Additional factors that could have played a role in the arrest, such as the weather, medical conditions, road obstacles, other drivers, etc.
• Accuracy of the equipment used to measure the driver's BAC
• The officer's background or training in DUI arrest
• The execution of field sobriety tests

These are just a few of the areas our Dawsonville DUI Lawyers will explore while investigating your case. We perform a thorough analysis to make sure we are sufficiently prepared to negotiate with the prosecutor or to take the case to trial.
