Being pulled over along Luling Estates Drive or Sugarhouse Road and questioned about your sobriety could mark the start of a stressful ordeal. Louisiana’s criminal courts are unlikely to show leniency to anyone found guilty of driving while under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol, and even a first-time conviction could lead to confinement in jail or prison. If you are facing DUI charges, a Luling DUI defense lawyer can protect your rights and freedom.
The attorneys at Marino Law Firm, LLC, understand that no one starts their evening expecting to spend the night at Nelson Coleman Correctional Center. With the support and advocacy of our dedicated defense team, you can potentially avoid the consequences of a serious conviction.
Our lead attorneys bring more than 50 years of combined experience managing complex criminal cases, and we always approach cases with an open mind and willingness to explore novel strategies for protecting the rights and freedoms of the people we represent.
DUIs contribute to Luling’s crime rate of 19.52 per 1,000 residents. Drunk drivers are a significant danger to public safety. In 2023, 30.1% of roadway fatalities involved a drunk driver. Law enforcement is tasked with balancing public safety with the rights of Luling’s residents. The police cannot pull someone over for no reason.
If law enforcement sees signs that a driver is intoxicated, they can pull a driver over and look for further signs of intoxication. When an officer has probable cause to further detain someone, they can order the driver to take a breathalyzer test or undergo a field sobriety test. The results of that test could lead to the driver’s release or arrest.
The right defense strategy can protect you from becoming one of the roughly 50,000 detainees in state jails and prisons. DUI defense strategies can focus on why you were pulled over, whether the officer had a lawful basis for the stop, and whether proper procedures were followed throughout the investigation. The accuracy of breath and blood test results and how frequently the breathalyzer was calibrated can also be leveraged to support your defense.
An arrest for a DUI does not mean that you will be convicted of a serious offense. The decision to hire a DUI defense lawyer positions you for a favorable outcome that protects your freedom and driving privileges. A Luling DUI defense attorney can find the right DUI defense strategy for beating your DUI charges.
A defense attorney can scrutinize the evidence to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s case that can lead to reduced or dropped charges for your DUI defense case.
Facing DUI charges can have lasting consequences for your license, your record, and your future.
