Louisiana DWI Blood-Alcohol Levels Lawyers
We pride ourselves on being the only firm in Louisiana exclusively dedicated to DWI defense. Our Metairie DWI 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 (BAC) or more on a Breathalyzer or Intoxilyzer test can get you charged with the most common type of DWI. The first step we take is to prevent the DMV from taking away your license.
Driver's license suspension happens within the first 15 days after your arrest, so time is of the essence. Getting an administrative hearing is essential to preserving your ability to drive. It also puts you in a better negotiating position to reduce the criminal charges against you.
Fighting for Your Innocence
If you are caught driving with a BAC above the legal limit of .08, there is what is known as a "rebuttable presumption" that you are guilty of drunk driving. In other words, you are assumed to be guilty of DWI unless you contest and disprove it. At the Law Offices of Troy G. Broussard, J.D., our attorneys fight that presumption so you are presumed innocent at the start. We want to get you a fair trial and, ideally, a 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 experienced DWI lawyers can determine if the paperwork was completed properly, if the procedures for the any field sobriety, blood and breath tests were followed, if the Breathalyzer or 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.
