Challenging the Validity of Field Sobriety Tests

Police or prosecutors may have already told you that the evidence against you cannot possibly be refuted and that your only hope for a positive outcome right now is to admit your guilt and move on.

Don't believe it. Not for a second. Talk to an experienced DUI defense lawyer first.

With more than 30 years of combined experience in California's criminal courts, the attorneys at Rooney Law Firm know the law and how to get cases dismissed by challenging the results of field sobriety tests. Rest assured that we will take every appropriate step to help you avoid jail time, keep your license and minimize the consequences of your arrest as well.

Winning Without a Trial

Field sobriety tests are important because law enforcement officers often use a failed field sobriety test as the basis for their probable cause to arrest and give you a breathalyzer test. Fortunately, there are several ways to challenge field sobriety test results and cause the prosecution's case to fall apart.

Our ability to dig deep and use all of our resources and experience has allowed us to get countless DUI (DWI) cases dismissed before the prosecution even has a chance to get them off the ground. However, if for some reason we are not able to obtain a dismissal before trial, we will be more than ready to defend you in a court of law.
