Louisiana DWI Blood Alcohol Levels Lawyers

We pride ourselves on being the only exclusively DWI firm in Louisiana. Our lawyers are committed to defending you and your rights aggressively. Do not be railroaded by the court system and submit to a plea before talking to us.

Key Steps

Registering a .08 blood alcohol content or above on a breathalyzer can get you charged with the most common type of DWI. Step one should be preventing your license from being taken. Suspension can happen within the first 15 days after your arrest, so time is of the essence in scheduling an administrative hearing. It is an important step in that it preserves your ability to drive and puts us in a better negotiating position to get your charges reduced.

Fighting for Your Innocence

Being charged with driving above the legal limit of .08 blood alcohol content is known as a rebuttable presumption. In other words, it is an assumption that is presumed to be true unless a party contests and disproves it. At the Law Offices of Troy G. Broussard, J.D., our attorneys will fight that presumption so that you are presumed innocent at the start. Then you can have a fair trial and, ideally, satisfactory resolution to your case.

Aggressive Litigation

While law enforcement provides a valuable service, the police are not infallible. The charge of drunken driving may carry a stigma, but it does not automatically mean conviction is imminent. Our job is to aggressively and intelligently cross-examine the arresting officer at both the administrative hearing to keep your license and the criminal trial on your DWI charge. Our lawyers can determine if the paperwork was completed properly, if the procedures for the field sobriety administered properly, if the Intoxilyzer was used properly, and if the officer legally pulled you over in the first place. We will cover the bases to see that you are given a fair trial with the goal of dismissal or a verdict of not guilty.
