Protecting Your Rights Against DWI/DWAI Test Methods
Were you subjected to blood or breath testing when you were arrested for DWI/DWAI or drunk driving?
I am criminal defense attorney Gary R. Somerville. My law office in Goshen, New York, questions the accuracy of field sobriety testing techniques and breath/blood test results. I offer the attentive, aggressive legal representation you need and deserve if you are facing conviction on DWI/DWAI charges.
I have appeared in hundreds of jury trials, bench trials and administrative hearings. I extend that same hard work and dedication to those who may have been shortchanged by law enforcement's field sobriety testing.
I can be mounting an effective defense for you right now. Contact me today so we can discuss your case in a free initial consultation. Call toll-free at 866.919.0452 or send an e-mail.
Gary R. Somerville Works Hard to Challenge DWI/DWAI Test Results
Testing for blood-alcohol content (BAC) may produce "false positives" that can set you up for failure. A medical condition like diabetes can potentially alter test results and erroneously calculate your BAC level as exceeding .08, leaving you open to a charge of driving while intoxicated.
A BAC of less than .08 is the level for DWAI (driving while ability impaired). An aggravated DWI means a BAC of .18 or higher. Your BAC level is especially important if you are a commercial driver arrested for DWI/DWAI on a non-job-related occasion; the acceptable BAC readings are much lower for drivers’ possessing a CDL. When your CDL license is in jeopardy, so is your livelihood. I will fight hard for your need to keep your CDL license.
My goal is to cast doubt on every aspect of your DWI, DWAI or aggravated DWI arrest that I can, including your breath, urine and blood Alco-sensor testing. I also regularly seek the assistance of testing experts who know how these tests can go wrong.
Prosecutorial Background, Years of Trial Experience, Personal Belief in You
I am a former Orange County assistant district attorney. The lessons I learned during that time can help you, as a DWI/DWAI defendant, today. I have in-depth knowledge of the criminal justice system, of the New York DWI/DWAI laws and of the proper procedure that law enforcement officials must use to handle these cases.
Just as you have confidence in my abilities to protect your rights and driving privileges, you need to know that you may very well be innocent of DWI/DWAI. A variety of credible factors could have distorted results from the field sobriety testing you were subjected to, during your arrest.
If you rejected the instruction to submit to testing and were arrested for DWI/DWAI refusal, you will definitely need the most committed, conscientious defense lawyer you can find. You could be convicted of refusal even if your DWI/DWAI charge is later dropped, or you are acquitted.
I will thoroughly research your refusal case and do everything I can to safeguard your interests.
