Careful Review Of The DWI Charge
As your lawyer, Michael D. Cleaves will begin by listening carefully to your account of your DWI arrest, field sobriety test, breath testing and any dubious police procedure that could discredit law enforcement. He is well-aware of the many ways that a drunk driving stop can go wrong — due to bad weather, hazardous roads, a motor vehicle malfunction, pre-existing medical condition or any factor that could cause police to confuse erratic driving with drunk driving.
Furthermore, the evidence in drunk driving cases should not be taken at face value. Do not assume that because you blew over the legal limit you are guilty. That is not the case. Breath test machines are not perfect. If they are not properly calibrated, poorly maintained or used incorrectly, they can produce inaccurate results. Michael D. Cleaves knows what to look for to find weaknesses in the evidence or case against you.
