Experienced DUI Defense in Southeast Pennsylvania
Did law enforcement have probable cause to stop you? Were the field sobriety tests you were given administered properly? Was the breath machine they tested you on properly calibrated and was the officer who used it currently certified to do so?
At Ross & Schnarrs, we know what questions to ask and how to effectively defend people who have been charged with drunk driving in southeastern Pennsylvania. Today, our experience with DUI cases, the credibility we've established with prosecutors and courts in this area, and our knowledge of how to make the system work for the people we represent can start working to benefit you.
Challenging Field Sobriety Test
and Blood-Alcohol Test Results
Law enforcement personnel in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania use a variety of field sobriety tests to establish probable cause for DUI arrests and breath, blood or urine testing. Standard tests used by law enforcement include:
- The one-leg stand test
- The walk-and-turn test
- The HGN (horizontal gaze nystagmus) test
Non-standard (no established procedures for administering, results highly subjective) tests include:
- The finger-to-nose test
- The recite the alphabet test
- The counting backwards test
With experienced attorneys representing you (like the ones you'll have at our firm), both standard and non-standard field sobriety tests can be challenged — effectively, in many cases. We can challenge blood-alcohol content (BAC) test results obtained from breathalyzer or Intoxilyzer machines and BAC results obtained from blood or urine samples as well.
In short, don't assume that the evidence against you is as strong and incontrovertible as the police or prosecutors say. Talk to an experienced lawyer first.
