Common Defenses Against DWI Charges

At Scott Cerbin Defense, we explore every legal avenue to defend your case. Common strategies include:

• Challenging the Traffic Stop: Was there reasonable suspicion to justify the stop? If not, evidence gathered may be inadmissible.
• Disputing BAC Results: Chemical tests like breathalyzers are prone to errors due to improper calibration or faulty administration.
• Field Sobriety Test Flaws: These tests are subjective and often influenced by external factors like weather or medical conditions.
• Rising BAC Defense: Your BAC may have been below the legal limit while driving but rose above it by the time the test was administered.

Scott Cerbin’s expertise in these areas ensures that every aspect of your case is scrutinized to build the strongest possible defense.
