How does one fight a DUI in a different state?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
You will have to go to the state and fight it. If you are convicted in whatever state, the conviction will follow you to this state.

DUI first offence

Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You mentioned that you obtained a lawyer, I suppose my first question to you is have you discussed your concerns with your lawyer, as he/she would be in the best position to discuss your case. You did not state whether you submitted to a breath test, it sounds like you did not based upon what you wrote. If you submit to a breath test the results will either show you were not impaired as defined by a BAC under .08, or you were presumed impaired if BAC was over .o8.  If you refuse the breath test you give up the opportunity to show that your BAC was under .08.  As for the questions, field sobriety tests, and breath test, the law is clear that you are not entitled to a lawyer for field sobriety testing or breath testing. The only time you are entitled to a lawyer is during questioning. The officer should have read you your miranda rights before asking you any questions. however any spontaneous statement made by you which was not in response to a question, is evidence,  and not protected by Miranda. Most police have a video tape rolling in in the breath testing room and any statements made should be on tape. With regard to your passing or believing you passed the field sobriety tests, there are six to eight clues related to each test that determine whether you passed or not. These tests are divided attention tests and designed to not only assess your physical ability but also your mental ability to listen and follow direction, something which decreases with impairment. Many people believe they passed the field sobriety tests but actually failed based on the assessment criteria.

CanI beat a DUI case if nothing was in my system but found cocaine in the car?

Answered by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt
DUI/DWI lawyer at 5280 Law Group
You should not be charged with DUI - if no substance that could impair you was found in your system. However- you most likely would be charged with simple possession, if the search could be thrown out depends on what the officer will testify to, if you gave him consent to search- then no. If you did nit give consent to search, it would depend on what reasons the officer gives for the search.
