DUI and Drug Offenses
It is not uncommon for a DUI to accompany a charge for driving while under the influence of drugs. Too often, individuals are illegally stopped and tested for drug use. At Hinkle, Jachimowicz, Pointer & Emanuel, our attorneys have experienced with challenging the drug and DUI charges faced by our clients. If you were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, our attorneys will aggressively represent you in court to minimize the consequences of an arrest or eliminate the charges against you.
Many individuals are charged with driving under the influence even when they are not actually impaired. We will aggressively defend you if you are facing criminal charges for driving while using over-the-counter drugs, prescription drugs or narcotics. Contact us today for a free consultation.
Driving impairments: over-the-counter and prescription medications. Many individuals are charged with driving under the influence while using over-the-counter and prescription drugs with or without a small amount of alcohol. You may not have known that the drugs would impair your driving abilities or you may have been illegally stopped and tested. Whatever the circumstances, our attorneys have experience with these cases and know how to protect clients’ rights.
An arresting officer MUST have a valid reason to stop you. Our attorneys will fully investigate the facts of your case using police reports, witness statements and your account to challenge any evidence presented against you. Even if you tested positive in a blood, breath or urine test, the results may not be used in court if they were illegally obtained. If we can successfully challenge the evidence, it is possible to see your charges dismissed. For a free consultation, contact our offices today.
