Yes! An experienced Greensboro DUI attorney can help you find potentially winning issues in your case that you may not have known you had. A law enforcement officer can not pull over your car without reasonable suspicion that a crime has occurred. An illegal stop can lead to a suppression of evidence that is obtained as “fruit of the poisonous tree.” Furthermore, even if a stop is lawful, an officer can not arrest you under suspicion of Driving While Impaired unless they have probable cause. These standards are important and a trained Greensboro DWI lawyer who is familiar with North Carolina case law may be able to help you win your case.
It is also important to have an experienced attorney who is familiar with how officers properly conduct standardized field sobriety tests. These tests have to performed in a very specific way to properly indicate possible signs of impairment. If an officer conducts these tests incorrectly, a good DWI lawyer can argue that these tests shouldn’t be considered when determining whether there was probable cause to make an arrest.
