Strategic Lexington DUI and Traffic Ticket Defense
A driving under the influence (DUI) arrest in Kentucky can lead to severe penalties, including license suspension, hefty fines, mandatory alcohol treatment programs, and even jail time. Christopher A. Spedding has deep knowledge of Kentucky DUI laws, chemical testing procedures, and police protocol. When defending a DUI client, we examine every detail, including:
- Legality of the Traffic Stop: Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to pull you over" If not, the evidence may be dismissed.
- Field Sobriety and Breathalyzer Tests: We challenge the reliability and administration of breath and blood tests to identify discrepancies in the prosecution's case.
- Strategic Negotiation: When appropriate, we negotiate with prosecutors to reduce charges or minimize penalties.
If you are looking to find a lawyer who is prepared to fight DUI charges rather than simply plead guilty, our firm is your strong ally.
