The telltale flickering of blue and red lights in the rearview mirror can mark the beginning of a long and stressful ordeal. Whether you were pulled over at Cambridge Drive, Airline Highway, or elsewhere in LaPlace, the steps you take following an arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) can affect your case. When you hire a LaPlace DUI defense lawyer, you gain an attorney who can investigate why you were pulled over and whether the test results can hold up in court.
When drivers in LaPlace need results-driven legal support, they trust the legal team at Marino Law Firm, LLC, to provide strategic support and advocacy. Our law firm was founded in 1986 to provide exceptional criminal defense services to the people of LaPlace and the surrounding communities. We understand the stress that can follow DUI charges. During a difficult time, we can provide you with the right strategy for protecting your freedom and driving privileges.
Law enforcement takes drunk driving seriously due to the high societal cost of intoxicated driving. An estimated 31% of roadway crashes in the state were tied to alcohol in 2022. DUI charges typically result from someone being pulled over during a traffic stop.
Police may notice that someone is weaving out of their lane or driving well above or below the speed limit. A booking at St. John the Baptist Parish Correction Center would typically follow, along with mandatory court appearances. A DUI conviction could lead to a suspension of your license, fines, and possible confinement in jail.
DUIs contribute to the average crime rate in LaPlace, which stands at 30.20 per 1,000 residents. One approach to beating DUI charges could be to explore whether your rights were violated during your initial arrest. The police cannot pull you over without a valid reason. Breathalyzers must be calibrated at regular intervals, and a field sobriety test could lead to inconclusive results. Lab test results can also be carefully examined to find inconsistencies that could help your case.
If you are facing DUI charges, your top priority should be to hire a DUI defense lawyer. Legal representation can protect you from becoming one of the roughly 50,000 people currently serving time in state jail or prison.
A LaPlace DUI defense attorney can rely on their knowledge of DUI defense laws to find the right approach for beating your charges or having them reduced.
