If you or a loved one is facing an underage driving under the influence charge, your first call needs to be to an experienced defense attorney. Underage drinking and driving cases involve very special circumstances that a DUI defense lawyer can handle quickly and accurately. First, the maximum blood alcohol levels are far lower for underage drivers than for other drivers. Underage drivers may also face related charges, such as minor in possession charges, which your lawyer can defend you against.

A DUI lawyer will be especially concerned with how your arrest was handled. He will look into whether your breath, urine or blood tests were processed and stored properly. Your experienced defense lawyer will probably also campaign to have those samples retested in order to be sure the results are the same as the prosecution’s tests. If the results are different, your lawyer can have those tests dismissed entirely.
Field sobriety testing must be performed in a certain manner, or it can be deemed illegal and inadmissible in court proceedings. A Colorado Springs DUI defense attorney is experienced in examining this type of evidence, and will not hesitate to have evidence dismissed from the case if it is deemed inappropriate and inaccurate. Your attorney is there to fight for your rights, every step of the way.
