A DUI Charge Can Be Defended

If you have been charged with DUI, you may feel like the outcome has already been decided. It hasn’t. DUI charges can be defended, and the right strategy starts with understanding the specific facts of your case. Our DUI attorneys prepare every case with trial in mind and are ready to litigate when the offer on the table is not the right outcome.

A Virginia DUI/DWI case is more than a breath or blood alcohol number. The defense may depend on how the traffic stop was conducted, how field sobriety tests were administered, whether testing equipment and procedures were reliable, and how the Commonwealth obtained and handled the evidence. Battlefield Law Group examines those details closely and builds strategy around the specific facts, science, and court involved.

POWERFUL DUI DEFENSE
BUILT ON SCIENCE

Defense attorney Steve Duckett explains how problems with blood-testing equipment helped lead to a Not Guilty verdict in a Stafford DUI case.

DUI defense is not just another practice area for Battlefield Law Group. Our attorneys continually invest in in-depth training to deepen their knowledge of the science and evidence behind DUI cases, including advanced education through the National College for DUI Defense and hands-on exposure to blood testing laboratories and procedures. We believe strong DUI defense requires continued learning, and our attorneys are constantly working to sharpen their knowledge, strengthen their courtroom skills, and provide the highest level of DUI defense possible. We use that training to challenge the Commonwealth’s evidence and hold the prosecution to its burden of proving the case beyond a reasonable doubt. When a negotiated outcome is not the right one, our attorneys are prepared to take the case to trial.
