West Virginia DUI Defense Attorney Discloses His Top Tactics In Defending DUI Cases


Every West Virginia DUI case is unique. So a good DUI defense in somebody else’s case might not fit for your offense.

An analysis, though, will determine the right defense tactics and options available in your case.

While the different DUI defenses that could be used in any one case are numerous, the following list provides examples of what a qualified DUI lawyer should do in EVERY West Virginia DUI case.

These activities can lead to even more helpful information that can be used to formulate effective defenses to the charges against you.

Visiting the scene of the arrest and shooting photographs and video tape to know the area better than the prosecutor and, many times, even the officer

Requesting all of the state’s evidence, and filing motions to force the state to provide that evidence if they don’t do so when first asked

Reviewing all the available evidence for inconsistencies

Identifying every possible witness and speaking to them about the arrest

Making a time line of events that occurred before and after the arrest

Maintaining files on the breath machines used to test clients and on the officers who make DUI arrests
