Boise, Idaho, Lawyer for a Strong DUI Defense
Drunk driving arrests can happen to almost anyone who makes a mistake in judgment and gets behind the wheel when he or she should not. At Berglund Law, PLLC, we understand that drinking and driving does happen to good people who otherwise make few mistakes. We also understand the potentially serious consequences that you may face.
To help you get the best possible results, our Boise, Idaho, law firm prepares a strong and effective defense that takes into account many factors:
- DUI: We help you effectively confront the charges you face.
- Field sobriety tests: Before you were arrested, you may have been asked to perform several field sobriety tests. These may have included standing on one leg or walking on a straight line. We can help show that these may not have been accurate.
- Breath, blood and urine tests: Blood, breath, and urine tests are often a large part of a DUI arrest. We can question the accuracy and validity of these tests.
- DOT hearings: If you are worried about saving your license, we can help you protect it as part of our services to you.
- DUI consequences: The consequences you face depend, in part, on your blood alcohol content (BAC) and prior convictions. We can predict what your consequences may be and help you prepare.
- Underage DUI: If you are under age 21 and are charged with drunk driving, you may face special penalties. Work with an attorney who understands how to protect your rights.
What to Expect When You Work With Us on Your DUI Defense
At Berglund Law, PLLC, initial consultations are free and confidential. We begin each consultation with an honest conversation between you and an attorney, and we may ask you in-depth questions about the facts of your case.
When your situation is related to a DUI arrest, we will talk with you about what you said to the police. The police may have asked if you have been drinking. We will also try to determine how long between your last drink and the traffic stop if your BAC was very close to the legal limit.
Sometimes, there is a successful defense based on the timing of the last drink and the timing of the administration of any blood, breath, or urine tests. For example, a breath test may indicate that you recently had a drink, but it does not necessarily indicate that the alcohol from that drink had made it into your bloodstream and impaired your ability to drive at the time of the traffic stop.
