Our Local DWI Lawyers Know That A Police Officer’s Mistake Can Result In A DWI Dismissal

Did you know that police officers are required to follow precise rules when initiating a stop and then arresting a driver for a DWI? If a mistake is made at any point, that mistake could cause the court to dismiss the case entirely. But it can be difficult to discover a mistake without the assistance of an experienced DWI lawyer. Common mistakes made by police officers include:

• Conducting a traffic stop with no probable cause.
• Conducting a stop based on an improperly placed street sign or traffic light.
• Improperly administering a breath, blood, or urine test.

These are just a few examples of mistakes that could apply to your DWI case. Contact us today so that our DWI attorneys can review your case and find any mistakes that were made.
