Scientific Edge in DWI and Intoxication Defense

Intoxication cases often hinge upon complex chemical evidence that may be fundamentally flawed. Designated as an ACS-CHAL Forensic Lawyer-Scientist by the American Chemical Society, RC Pate brings an elite level of scientific mastery to DWI defense. Most attorneys lack the training necessary to audit gas chromatography data, analyze blood alcohol testing, or challenge Intoxilyzer calibration records. Whether facing a first-time DWI or felony intoxication assault allegations, clients benefit from an attorney who rigorously cross-examines state experts, challenges breath testing machines, and targets unlawful traffic stops.
