As one of the most successful Gwinnett County DUI lawyers, Mr. Kohn is well-versed in a number of tactics that can be used to challenge your arrest and help you avoid the life-altering consequences of a DUI conviction.

Contrary to popular belief, being arrested for DUI does not automatically prove guilt. Before you can be convicted of the charges, the prosecution team must first prove that you actually violated one or more of the state’s DUI laws. In order to do this, there are a number of legal requirements that must be met—beginning with establishing probable cause for your arrest.

But what does “probable cause” mean? Basically, it’s a fancy way of saying that the officer who arrested you had a justified reason for doing so. While you may assume this will be rather easy, it can be difficult if the officer cannot prove two things: first, that he or she had a reason for stopping you (such as speeding, running a red light, or violating any other traffic law); and secondly, that after pulling you over, he or she had reason to suspect you were under the influence (such as smelling alcohol on your breath or noticing an open container of alcohol). If these two requirements cannot be established, your charges will almost certainly be dismissed in court.

Even if the state meets its probable cause requirement, you may be able to challenge other factors in your case—like your chemical and field sobriety test results, for example.
