How Drug DUIs Differ from Alcohol-Related DUIs
Drug DUIs present challenges that are vastly different from typical alcohol-related offenses. Unlike alcohol, where impairment can often be clearly determined by blood alcohol concentration levels, drugs do not have a universally accepted impairment threshold. This is where our concerted team of lawyers shines, prying into the complexities with precision.
While the legal limit for alcohol is 0.08% across the United States, there's no such cut-and-clear concentration for drugs that's considered impairing. That's why our attorneys dive deep, examining how the drug may affect driving ability and each individual differently.
Your Rights and Drug DUI Checkpoints
At checkpoints, you're entitled to certain rights which must be upheld. Our attorneys educate our clients on how to deal with these scenarios. Knowing your rights is a powerful shield in navigating through drug DUI charges.
If you've been subjected to a drug DUI checkpoint, having an attorney who can evaluate the lawfulness of that checkpoint can be the keystone in your defense. Since laws may vary by state, our national network of experts is crucial.
The Role of Field Sobriety Tests (FSTs) in Drug DUIs
Field Sobriety Tests are a staple in roadside assessments, but these tests have inherent flaws, especially when it comes to evaluating drug impairment. Our lawyers specialize in dissecting each aspect of these tests to challenge their reliability.
FSTs were initially designed to detect alcohol impairment, not drug intoxication, which often displays different symptoms. The nuances matter, and they can mean the difference between a conviction and a successful defense.
Prescription Medication and Over-The-Counter Drugs
Not all drugs are illicit, yet even legally prescribed medications can land you in hot water. Our strategy involves highlighting this distinction, ensuring the court recognizes the difference between misuse and legal, responsible use.
We understand the nuances that come with prescription and over-the-counter medications. Our attorneys are adept at crafting arguments that are validated by medical evidence and tailored to the facts of your case.
If your particular set of circumstances seem like an intricate knot to unravel, reach out to us at (512) 346-3600 and we'll start untangling the legal threads.
Testing the Evidentiary Waters: Dissecting Chemical Tests
Understanding Blood and Urine Tests in Drug DUIs
Chemical testing is the linchpin in most drug DUI cases, but it's not infallible. Our expertise lies in examining lab processes, test administration, and storage methods to expose any potential flaws or avenues for defense.
Blood and urine tests are extensively examined by our attorneys for proper procedure and handling. We question each link in the chain of custody, and scrutinize the validity and interpretation of the results, turning every stone for your defense.
Challenging the Results of Drug Recognition Experts (DREs)
Drug Recognition Experts are often called upon in these cases, but their assessments are not beyond dispute. Our lawyers are trained to challenge their conclusions, offering rebuttals grounded in thorough knowledge and scientific evidence.
Each evaluation by a DRE is a potential minefield of subjectivity. We critically appraise their findings, confronting biases and errors that can influence the outcome of your case.
The Cross-Examination of Forensic Toxicologists
Cross-examination of expert witnesses such as forensic toxicologists is an art. Our attorneys are the Picassos of the courtroom, painting a picture of doubt around the testimonies that seek to convict you.
Dissecting the intricate testimonies of forensic toxicologists requires not just legal acumen but scientific understanding. Our team is adept at pulling the threads of questionable scientific evidence to the surface.
Fighting Inaccuracies in Testing Devices
When it comes to defense, we do not overlook the machines themselves. Flaws in drug testing devices are a focal point of our strategies, often providing a pivotal turn in our client's case.
Our seasoned professionals question the calibration, maintenance, and operation of drug testing devices used in your case. Inaccuracies here can leverage your defense, and we make sure to explore every possibility.
In this ocean of complexities, you need a steadfast captain to navigate your legal ship. Set sail with us by calling (512) 346-3600, where a steady hand awaits to guide you through turbulent waters.

Highlighting Legal Drug Use and Unforeseen Reactions

We defend those who've experienced unexpected side effects, ensuring their stories are heard and the context is given its due weight. Such factors can significantly impact the perception of a case and can direct the path toward acquittal.
Utilizing Expert Witnesses to Support Defense
In the courtroom, expert witnesses can be powerful allies. We strategically deploy testimonies from medical professionals, toxicologists, and pharmacologists to fortify your defense and bolster your case.
These witnesses can demystify complex drug interactions, challenge DUI allegations, and provide a staunch defense against faulty evidence all while under our expert legal guidance.
Navigating State-Specific Drug DUI Laws
