There are a lot of things that a DUI lawyer can do to help you save your driver’s license after being charged with DUI in North Las Vegas, Nevada. A DUI lawyer could request a hearing and request the police officer’s presence. By doing so, it could even give you a preview of a trial which is rare in criminal cases. The police officer who signed the notice of hearing and affidavit should show up and justify the revocation of your driver’s license and other police officers may be subpoenaed.

If you hire a DUI lawyer, he/she could retest the sample of your blood alcohol test because testing errors could save your driver’s license. He/she would also investigate the legality of the DUI stop because the police officer should have had a reasonable suspicion that a crime or traffic infraction was committed when you were arrested for DUI. The DUI lawyer could also check the times of the event because police officers should administer field sobriety tests within certain guidelines. He/she could also check the labelling of the sample because it should be identified as being yours. Most especially, a DUI lawyer would attend the Division of Motor Vehicles hearing and listen for fabrications and other errors on your DUI case.
