VANCOUVER, WASHINGTON - APRIL 24, 2024 - In long-tenured private criminal defense attorney Roger Priest’s words, the law is complicated. DUI law is extremely complex, with various factors that can impact the outcome of a client’s case. Priest, a former public defender and prosecutor who now defends clients through his company VanWa Legal PLLC, is helping his clients navigate the dynamic nature of DUI cases.
According to Priest, anyone who receives a DUI needs to gain the representation of a reputable DUI lawyer right away. “Even if you don’t think you want to go to trial, you should consult with a criminal defense attorney,” said Priest.
Some DUI cases could require expert witnesses or scientific evidence. Those that go to court will be presented before a judge who sees high volumes of DUI cases. DUI defendants need to have the best lawyer possible to defend their case, said Priest.
Still, there are strategies that people should be generally aware of. For instance, if an officer makes an arrest for DUI, there must be probable cause. When it comes to the breathalyzer, Priest says that most people don’t know they have the right to refuse a breath test for alcohol, although doing so may carry more severe penalties if you are ultimately convicted. They also have the right to refuse a blood draw. Without these tests on file, a DUI case may not be provable. Moreover, if the breathalyzer test is challenged, the case could be won and the impact of the DUI could be greatly reduced or even eliminated.
“DUI defense is complicated and often requires attacking police procedures that only a trained legal mind will be familiar with. Unless you are experienced with proper police procedures in a DUI investigation, you won’t know what to look for,” said Priest.
VanWa Legal PLLC is committed to helping DUI clients navigate the complex DUI legal framework. Even when a client feels that they are guilty, they could have more rights than they are aware of. Priest and his team are dedicated to preserving those rights. His team has been able to successfully get DUI charges dismissed or reduced in many cases in which the client wasn’t aware that the police had made mistakes. Even when things don’t look good, VanWa Legal PLLC can still put forth the work to ensure the best outcome possible.
