Defense Strategies for Multiple DUI Cases

A strong legal strategy can make the difference between years behind bars and a reduced charge — or even a dismissal. At Monroe Law, P.A., we examine every angle of your case, including:

• Challenging the Stop: If law enforcement lacked reasonable suspicion to stop you, we can move to suppress evidence.
• Reviewing Field Sobriety Tests: These tests are subjective and prone to error; we look for improper administration.
• Questioning Breathalyzer Accuracy: Breath machines must be properly maintained and calibrated; we check for compliance.
• Investigating Blood or Urine Testing: Chain of custody errors or lab mistakes can invalidate results.
• Identifying Constitutional Violations: Rights violations during arrest can lead to case dismissal.

We also work to negotiate alternative sentencing where possible, including treatment programs, house arrest, or community service — options that can help you avoid lengthy jail time.
