Arrested For Driving While Intoxicated In New York? in Elmira, New York For Sale

Many defense lawyers agree that Driving While Intoxicated cases are more complex than any other type of case. These complexities however, are where reasonable doubt can be found. To properly defend DWI charges, the defense attorney must understand and recognize these complexities and how to use them to the defendant's advantage. In a DWI case, the attorney must provide more than an "effective" or "adequate" representation. Even "meaningful" or "substantial" representation by an "experienced" defense attorney may fall short. Simply stated, the defense in a DWI case must be exceptional.
The best and most successful DWI attorneys have training, certification, independent study, understanding and knowledge in each area of a DWI prosecution that approaches that of an expert. A truly qualified DWI defense attorney will not just know DWI Detection and Field Sobriety Testing; he or she will know it far better than the arresting officer, the training officer and the prosecutor.
Defense attorney John Campbell is one such attorney. Mr. Campbell has been trained and certified in many of the same DWI detection procedures as the police. Mr. Campbell is certified by Blackwater Worldwide in DUI Detection And Field Sobriety Testing. He has also successfully completed the National Association Of Criminal Defense Lawyers DUI Defense Seminar. This three day program focused on chemical testing of one's blood; portable breath testing; and chemical testing procedures. Mr. Campbell is also trained and certified by the United States Department of Justice in DNA evidence. Moreover, Mr. Campbell is certified in Narcotics Field Testing by NIK Public Safety.
There are no routine Driving While Intoxicated cases. Each DWI case must be broken down into separate "Chapters" or "Sections." Each Section must then be analyzed in detail by a competent a DWI defense attorney. Why were you stopped? How was your driving? Did you comply with the officer's directions? Were you asked to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests? Were you properly instructed? Did the officer properly demonstrate each test? Did the officer properly score each test?
There are literally dozens, if not hundreds of specific areas in a DWI case where reasonable doubt can be found. While the prosecution will always point out what the driver did wrong, the defense attorney must focus on everything the driver did correctly. In most cases, the arresting officer will note a few clues or indicators of intoxication. While the prosecutor will focus the entire case on these clues, defense counsel will focus on the dozens of clues that were not present. Defense counsel will also focus on the numerous tasks the driver did perfectly. For example, police officers are trained to look for 24 driving clues that indicate a potential intoxicated driver. The officer will testify that he or she observed the defendant's vehicle weaving. Weaving is one of the 24 clues that the officer has been trained might indicates a potential intoxicated driver. But what about the other 23 clues? Most specifically, what about the absence of the other 23 clues? A competent DWI attorney will go through each driving clue that was not present thus establishing that the defendant performed 23 out of 24 driving maneuvers correctly.
