Does the attorney understand Constitutional law?
Constitutional law is a big part of a successful DUI defense practice. This is because certain Constitutional law violations by police officers can lead to the suppression of evidence. What this means is that, if a Court agrees with a DUI client’s Motion to Suppress, then the Court will rule that certain evidence cannot be used by the prosecution. We have all heard of Miranda rights, but there are a number of other rights that come into play in a Johnson County DUI/DWI case. For example, the police must have a valid reason to pull you over, the police must have probable cause to make a DUI arrest, and the police must inform you of certain rights before requesting a breath, blood, or urine sample from you. Successful Motions to Suppress are some of the best ways to win a Johnson County DUI case.
