Cleveland Ohio Field Sobriety Test Attorney   

DWI Defense in Cuyahoga County

Independent Analysis of Field Sobriety and Breathalyzer Tests

An experienced DUI defense lawyer will ask you a lot of questions about any field sobriety tests you took as part of the DWI traffic stop. The point of these questions is to search for evidence that the law enforcement official did not conduct the field sobriety test under proper conditions or with the proper methods. If your DUI defense lawyer can find evidence to support this claim, you may be able to get a dismissal, plea bargain or not-guilty verdict on your DUI arrest.

Cleveland criminal defense attorney Philip Eichorn has significant experience defending DUI clients by challenging improper field sobriety tests. As a former assistant county prosecutor, Mr. Eichorn offers valuable insight to criminal defense clients - he knows the types of facts that the prosecution will probably find compelling, and he knows the type of evidence that will probably give a persuasive reason to dismiss, offer a plea bargain or issue a not-guilty verdict.

An Independent Examination of the Field Sobriety and Breath Tests

As part of building a defense in a DWI case, we conduct an independent investigation into the circumstances under which the field sobriety test was conducted. Questions we ask include:

• Did the police officer properly inform you of the potential consequences of not performing the field sobriety test? You always have the right to refuse a field sobriety test, but sometimes a police officer might attempt to persuade a person to take the test by promising release if you do take the test. If the police don't honor the promise, they have improperly obtained evidence of your intoxication.
• Were the field sobriety tests performed under proper conditions? Was there excessive traffic, which could have been distracting? Were weather conditions poor? Were the tests performed according to accepted standards? Did the police officer have current certification to administer field sobriety tests?

These are only some of the questions that attorney Philip Eichorn will ask as part of conducting an independent investigation and building a defense against the drunk driving charges against you.
