Several types of DUI defenses may be effective in court. You may challenge the police’s justification for the stop, question the legality of any searches, dispute the accuracy of the blood alcohol content test, or negotiate a plea deal. A skilled criminal defense attorney can help you explore options and assemble a strong case. 

Whether you’ll need to purchase and install an ignition interlock device (IID) in your vehicle to obtain conditional driving rights depends on several factors. Your blood alcohol content (BAC) level at the time of arrest, as well as refusal to take a breath or blood test can also necessitate an IID order from the court that may determine your eligibility. However, the specifics will vary based on the circumstances of your case.
