Mason County DUI Attorney

Callahan Law, P.S., Inc. will conduct an extensive private investigation to uncover facts that will be beneficial for your case.

Armed with these facts, we will negotiate with the prosecutor with the goal of avoiding a DUI conviction.

In a criminal case, the prosecutor must prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

If we uncover facts that make it difficult for the prosecution to prove their case, you may be offered a reduction of the charge to something less serious than a DUI.

In rare cases, we have even succeeded in getting DUI cases completely dismissed.

They will normally use four different aspects to prove his / her case:

• Driving pattern
• Physical appearance
• Field sobriety tests
• Blood/Breath test results

If one of these points can be shown to be unreliable or inaccurate, the prosecutor will be unable to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt and you may be acquitted at trial.

A good DUI defense attorney has extensive knowledge and training in every aspect of a DUI.

An example of this is the field sobriety tests many people volunteer to perform. These tests involve doing abnormal physical acts in order to prove you can perform a normal task–driving.

We know these tests were never designed to determine whether a person is too inebriated to drive. Few people can perform the tasks necessary to pass these tests on any given day, without practice.

Breath testing is not as reliable and accurate as people assume. 

Law enforcement officers have the ability to manipulate the test result by making you blow longer than the minimum required blow of 5 seconds.

That manipulation can take a breath result under the legal limit, over the legal limit.
