Why do I need a specialist in DUI cases? Won a regular criminal defense attorney be sufficient?
The laws governing DUI’s are complex and highly technical. The normal rules governing the presumption of innocence do not apply in DUI cases. DUI attorneys must have a thorough knowledge of DUI science (specifically as it relates to chemical tests, whether breath, blood or urine), experience in handling DMV administrative per se hearings (where the rules are arcane and sometimes confusing) as well as experience in trying cases in court. Few criminal attorneys have the time to keep current with all of these different areas unless they specialize in this area.
