Strategy for Victory in DUI Cases

Defending DUI Charges

A common misconception among the public is that DUI, or DUII, cases cannot be won. With an experienced Portland DUI attorney and a clear strategy for victory , your chances of success are greatly improved. This is attorney Donald Molnar's strategy to win your case:

When evidence is suppressed, the jury never hears or sees the evidence. Our firm has been successful in fatally damaging the prosecutor's case by suppressing evidence such as breath test results, field sobriety test results, drug screens, and incriminating admissions by his clients. It is inexcusable for a DUII attorney not to file extensive pre-trial motions but u nfortunately, it is commonplace. Do not let it happen to you. You will improve your case greatly with an attorney who employs aggressive pre-trial motion practice.
Our firm and his investigators will examine the area of the stop or accident. Examining the scene of the DUI arrest can provide critical information that could discredit the officer's testimony. The road conditions should be carefully examined to find alternat e reasons for bad driving. Photographs of the scene may prove helpful as demonstrative aids to the judge or jury.
Most often witnesses will need to be interviewed. Is there a friend or colleague that saw you before the stop and can testify that you were not impaired? Our firm will th oroughly investigate your case.
DUI cases are extraordinarily technical. The importance of securing an expert witness cannot be overstated. Many cases hinge on the testimony of an expert witness. The type of expert witness depends on the facts of the case. For example, in a breath testing cases, a forensic expert should be utilized to testify on the reliability and accuracy of the breath testing device. If you are charged with driving under the influence of prescription drugs, a medical doctor or pharmacologist can provide crucial testimony about the impact of the drugs on the central nervous system. Our attorneys are well connected to top-notch exper ts in the area of DUI defense.
If you are stopped for DUI, chances are the officer asked you to perform standardized field sobriety tests. These tests include horizontal gaze nystagmus, the Walk and Turn, and One-Leg Stands. These tests must be administered in a standardized manner or the judge may disregard them. Rarely does an officer conduct these tests in accordance with state and federal guidelines. We are trained in the administration of roadside tests and will file an aggressive challenge to the admissibility of these tests and observations.
You must remember the State must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. This is a difficult burden to meet. Reasonable doubt should be the defense theme in any DUI case.
