Field Sobriety & Roadside Test Challenges

Roadside errors can make or break your DUI case.

Field tests are subjective. We challenge the stop, the administration of HGN/Walk-and-Turn/One-Leg Stand, and any checkpoint compliance.

Review legality of the stop or checkpoint plan and execution.

Identify protocol errors and officer training gaps.

Use dash/body cam to undermine subjective scoring.

How We Defend You

Reasonable suspicion or checkpoint validity review.

Compare officer actions to NHTSA standards.

File to suppress when procedures or training fall short.

Leverage weaknesses for reductions or prepare cross-examination.

Experience with Atlanta-area sobriety checkpoints and local roadway camera pulls.
Frequent use of dash/body cam from APD and surrounding agencies.
Knowledge of Fulton/DeKalb/Cobb/Gwinnett court expectations on field test challenges.

Are field sobriety tests mandatory?+

They are voluntary in Georgia. We examine whether you were told that and how tests were conducted.

Can dash cam video help?+

Yes. Video can contradict officer scoring and support suppression or negotiation.

Do checkpoints change the rules?+

Checkpoints must follow strict plans. We attack deviations to suppress the stop.
