Lenexa, KS DUI Defense Lawyer

At our Johnson County DUI Law office, we take every drunk driving case seriously. As your Lenexa DUI defense attorney, we aggressively strategize for the best possible results in your case. Whether we have a trial or enter a plea, you can be assured that we will assertively fight for your interests. Over the years, we have helped literally hundreds of clients deal with serious criminal charges throughout the Kansas Courts. We have won numerous DUI cases through suppression hearings and trials. We extensively train on drunk driving defense by remaining knowledgeable on the latest DUI laws, news, and technology. We often train under the same material DUI officers take for administering field sobriety tests. We won a most recent DUI trial by being able to effectively cross examine the arresting officer on how he administered the field sobriety tests and how our client performed them. Sometimes, we conduct lengthy cross-examinations on the arresting officers, hammering them on how they didn't comply with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) manual. This has led to some of our clients being found not guilty or the case dismissed.

There are several different types of Lenexa driving offenses, all of which hold different penalties for those convicted. However, one of the most serious, consequential, and expensive traffic offences is DUI. Being found guilty of drunk driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs can have serious consequences, including:

  • Jail Time
  • Criminal History
  • Loss of Driver's License
  • ADSAP: Alcohol and Drugs Substance Abuse Assessment Program
  • Increased insurance costs
  • Large fines

As you can see, a Lenexa DUI conviction or charge can make life very costly and difficult. It is important to seek legal assistance as soon as possible. It is vital to get a DUI charge sorted out through the proper channels in order to avoid the severe penalties that are attached to Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs. Find a DUI criminal defense lawyer who knows the DUI laws, has tried DUI cases, and has experienced success with DUI litigation.

Make sure your case is fully assessed in order to try and get your charges dismissed. There is a detailed process which must be followed by the arresting Lenexa police for DUI. Failure of the Lenexa police officer to comply strictly with the detailed instructions, can result in a dismissal of charges, and an experienced DUI/DWI lawyer knows exactly what slip-ups to look out for in these cases.

  • Whether the blood and alcohol level tests were properly tested and carried out.
  • Whether your constitutional rights were violated.
  • Whether you were read your Miranda rights when the officer made the DUI/DWI arrest.
  • Whether the equipment used to monitor blood alcohol levels was maintained and in good working order.
  • Whether the police followed the correct procedures and regulation in a proper fashion.
  • Whether there was probable cause to stop you and if anything would be admissible in court against you.

Analysis of these kinds of issues can mean the difference between a conviction or a dismissal. DUI laws are very complex. Kansas DUI laws regularly change, and an experienced DUI attorney will be able to offer up-to-date advice on any changes in law that could help your drunk driving case.

When you look for a lawyer to deal with your DUI/DWI dispute you should check on the following:

  • If they have ever won a DUI trial.
  • Whether the lawyer or law firm has extensive experience in dealing with DUI/DWI cases.
  • If they have ever won a DUI suppression hearing to get the case dismissed.
  • If they know what experts they might utilize.
  • If they are trained or certified to administer Field Sobriety Tests. You want a lawyer who knows more about the field sobriety tests than the officer.
  • What their caseload is. Find a DUI lawyer who doesn't do high volume work.
