Field Sobriety Tests & DUI

DUI Defense Lawyer in Fairfax, VA

As a part of the DUI defense representation that we provide to drivers throughout Fairfax, Virginia, our firm challenges field sobriety test results. This is an important part of any drunk driving case that we take on. Although most people associate breath tests with DUI, field sobriety tests will also be used by the arresting officer to determine whether a driver's normal abilities are impaired. In fact, a driver may face DUI charges based upon performance on field sobriety tests alone.

In challenging field sobriety tests, a Fairfax DUI attorney at our offices may look at such factors as the driver's age, weight, physical condition and any other issue that may have negatively impacted his or her performance on a test. These test gauge balance, coordination and an ability to follow instructions, and in some cases a driver's poor performance may have nothing to do with alcohol or drugs.
