Facing Serious Charges? Get Strong Representation Today.
It may come as a surprise to visitors to Nevada that smaller towns can take a very tough approach to driving under the influence (DUI, also known as DWI or drunk driving). Even some residents of our state might not realize just how important it can be to have experienced, strong representation on your side if you have been charged or if a loved one has been arrested for DUI in Laughlin.
The laws governing DUI are the same throughout Nevada, but the courts, judges and the priorities of the prosecutors can be very different than in smaller communities like Laughlin. Often, prosecutors see fewer cases and can therefore afford to spend more time, energy and resources on securing a conviction and maximizing penalties.
If you have been charged with DUI in Laughlin or the surrounding areas, we encourage you to talk to an experienced criminal defense lawyer at Oronoz Ericsson. We offer highly knowledgeable and aggressive representation against DUI, felony DUI, underage DUI, breath test refusal and all other DUI-related charges as well as other misdemeanor, felony and federal crimes of all kinds. To contact our Las Vegas law office, call 702-577-3647, or send us an e-mail now.
Does a Breath or Blood Alcohol Test Prove You Are Guilty?
Like anyone accused of a crime, you are presumed to be innocent until you either plead guilty or are convicted at trial. That means there may be hope, no matter how strong you think the evidence against you may be.
The fact is that even if a blood or breath test said you were over the blood alcohol content (BAC) limit, you may still have valid defenses to a DUI/DWI charge, including:
- Cause: Did the officer have a legally legitimate reason to pull you over?
- Accuracy: Was the officer properly trained in the administration of the breath test? Was the equipment in good working order? Are there other reasons to question the results?
- Rights: Were your rights violated at any stage of the process?
After fully investigating the facts of your case, we will assess your chances of success and advise you honestly, so you can make the best decision as to how to proceed. If you wish to fight the charges in court, we are trial lawyers who will be prepared to aggressively defend your rights. If you prefer to seek a plea agreement, we will negotiate on your behalf with the prosecution to minimize the negative consequences to your life.
