Specialized DUI Defense in Utah
Driving Under the Influence (DUI) is one of the most common yet complex criminal charges in Utah. The laws are strict, the science is technical, and the penalties can be severe. Utah DUI Advocate is a specialized legal practice dedicated exclusively to defending individuals accused of impaired driving. Led by Benjamin A. Hamilton, a seasoned criminal defense attorney, the firm operates with a singular focus: to protect your driver’s license, your freedom, and your future. Unlike general practice firms that handle a bit of everything, Utah DUI Advocate devotes 100% of its resources to mastering the nuances of DUI defense.
Challenging the Evidence
Benjamin Hamilton understands that a failed breathalyzer test does not equal a conviction. The firm employs a science-based approach to defense, meticulously scrutinizing every piece of evidence against you. Key strategies include:
- Challenging the Stop: Was there probable cause for the police to pull you over in the first place?
- Field Sobriety Tests: Analyzing whether the tests were administered correctly according to NHTSA standards.
- Breath and Blood Testing: Investigating the calibration of the Intoxilyzer machines and the chain of custody for blood samples.
- Driver License Division (DLD) Hearings: Representing you in administrative hearings to save your driving privileges before your criminal case even goes to trial.
