Table of Contents [Show]

When you're pulled over and accused of driving under the influence (DUI), the legality of that traffic stop is often the linchpin of your defense.

This is where Fulbright & Jaworski LLP steps in we bring clarity to the rights of drivers and connect them with experienced attorneys who scrutinize every detail of the stop to build a robust defense. If you need to challenge the legality of a DUI stop, Fulbright & Jaworski LLP is here to guide you through every step of the process. For any questions, reach out to us anytime at (213) 892-9200.

The moment you see those flashing lights in your rearview mirror, it's crucial to know what rights you have. At Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, we empower drivers by informing them about their rights, which can be indispensable when contesting the legality of a traffic stop. If you believe your rights may have been violated during a DUI stop, it's essential to take action. Our network of skilled attorneys is at the ready to examine every aspect of your case and ensure your rights are fully upheld. Reach out to our team at (213) 892-9200 for a detailed assessment of your situation.

Law enforcement must have a just cause, known as "probable cause" or "reasonable suspicion," to initiate a traffic stop. This means they must have observed a violation or have some other legitimate reason to believe you're committing an offense. This is often a point of contention in DUI cases, where officers must articulate why they believed you were impaired. Examining the officer's reasoning is one part of the services we offer.

Our carefully selected attorneys are skilled in dissecting the events leading up to your stop, ensuring that any lack of probable cause is brought to light in your defense. Challenging this crucial detail can potentially lead to a dismissal of charges.

When stopped by law enforcement, you have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can be used against you in court. Knowing when to exercise this right is vital, and our legal team can advise you on how to communicate effectively with police officers while protecting your legal interests.

Although cooperation with law enforcement is important, understanding the boundaries of what you should and shouldn't disclose is something we stress to our clients. We help you understand that balance.

You may be asked to perform field sobriety tests or undergo chemical testing to measure blood alcohol content (BAC). While there are consequences for refusal in many states, it is within your rights to decline these tests. Our attorneys can counsel you on the implications of these decisions and help weigh the pros and cons based on your specific circumstances.

Making the right decision about field sobriety and chemical tests can significantly impact your case. With our guidance, you'll be educated on the best course of action if you ever find yourself in this situation.

The Fourth Amendment protects you against unreasonable searches and seizures. Any evidence gathered in violation of these laws can be excluded from your case. We educate our clients on these protections and challenge any overstep by law enforcement.

Our team delves deep into the procedures followed during your stop and arrest to ensure your Fourth Amendment rights were not violated. If they were, we aim to have any unjustly obtained evidence disregarded.

At Fulbright & Jaworski LLP, our central role is helping drivers who have been charged with DUI challenge the legality of their traffic stops. We understand how a wrongful stop can upend your life, and we take every action to minimize the consequences you face. Below is an overview of our approach to safeguarding your rights.

Every DUI case begins with a thorough review. Our legal experts analyze the specifics of your stop, looking for any discrepancies or points of contention that could indicate a lack of legal grounds for the stop.

After this initial assessment, we put you in touch with a seasoned DUI attorney from our national network. This connection is your first step toward personalizing your defense strategy and challenging any alleged legal infractions.

With an attorney at your side, the next step is crafting a defense strategy tailored to your unique situation. Your lawyer will consider not only the legality of the stop but also any mitigating factors that could influence the outcome of your case.

This strategy could involve filing pre-trial motions, negotiating with prosecutors, or fully challenging the evidence in court. Regardless of the path taken, you'll have an expert advocating on your behalf.
