Finding a DUI attorney who knows how to fight your case successfully is important. Chris Kopecky is founder and lead counsel of The Traffic Lawyers, P.A., based in Oberland Park, Kansas, and has years of experience in the field. Here, he talks about what a good DUI defense attorney can do.
If you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI), you need an experienced lawyer to provide you with good DUI defense. Most importantly, you need someone who can point out all the possible flaws in the prosecutor’s argument.
At The Traffic Lawyers of Kopecky Law, we are dedicated to doing the best for our clients. With this in mind, we review police records and videotapes, and listen to your own testimony in great detail.
In particular, we want to be able to determine whether there may or may not have been probable cause for the stop. We also look at breathalyzers and other field sobriety tests for clues of inaccuracy.
Defense Strategy
Our defense strategy aims to protect your rights. We look at all angles for flaws, especially as we know that sleep deprivation and medical conditions are two possible contributing factors that may affect results of breath and field sobriety tests.
We also know that often, the most common field sobriety test – the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test - or HGN test – is often not conducted properly. That’s why the results of this test are not allowed in Kansas courts to prove a DUI.
Finally, we are aware the police officers all too often are used to mechanically filing reports, ticking off boxes that you had bloodshot eyes, for example, without really observing whether this was the case. That’s why we review all police videos to see if any inaccuracies exist.
