The most important thing you need to remember if you want to beat a DUI/OWI in Kalamazoo is that you should never say a word to police before you are able to contact an experienced defense attorney. While you might think you could clear your name or convince police not to move forward with the case, it is never a good idea to put anything on the record before you have an attorney to guide you. Staying silent will do more to prove your innocence than anything you could say would, and it is critical that you utilize your right to remain silent, at least until you are able to consult with an attorney who can advise you on what you can say and do to protect yourself.

There are a number of issues that are commonly seen in DUI/OWI cases which could be reason for the case to be thrown out, or could help a defendant win in court. Some of these issues include illegal stops (such as a stop without probable cause), mistakes made during field sobriety tests, failure to read a suspect his or her rights, misleading or false statements made by police, issues with police jurisdiction, contradictory statements concerning the arrest and questioning, and more.
There are also a number of issues related specifically to breathalyzer/BAC testing that can result in false convictions, and challenging these errors could help you beat a DUI. If the breath test operator is unlicensed or not properly trained, or if proper procedure is not followed, the results of a test could be thrown out. Likewise, if the breathalyzer is not properly calibrated, or if rising alcohol is not accounted for, the test results may be inadmissible or at the least, insufficient.
