G. Morgan Holder Gulfport Mississippi, G. Morgan Holder Attorney, G. Morgan Holder DUI, G. Morgan Holder DUI AttorneyG. Morgan Holder recently received advanced level training, from the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, on how to win DUI cases with divided attention. Almost everything that an officer is trained to do and look for during a DUI investigation is related to divided attention impairment. In most DUI cases, that are worthy of fighting at trial, there is very little or no divided attention impairment. Officers are trained by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that alcohol and/or drug impaired drivers will not be able to divide their attention. Thus, it is critical for a defense attorney to know each and every area in a case where they can show that there was no divided attention impairment. In these cases, where no divided attention impairment is present, the officer will then be forced, during cross-examination, to explain to the Judge/Jury that the driver was not under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs and they are not-guilty of DUI. This training was provided by Dave Cox, a DUI Defense Expert, and the Founder and President of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys.

The American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys has compiled information from Judges, Traffic Safety Resource Prosecutors (the Top DUI Prosecutors in each State), DUI Prosecutors, current Law Enforcement Officers, former Law Enforcement Officers, and DUI Defense Attorneys to determine exactly what skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial.

When people need a DUI Attorney, the biggest challenge is knowing whether or not an attorney truly has the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases. Countless attorneys handle DUI cases. But, only a very small percentage have the skills, knowledge, training, tools, resources, and strategies that are needed to successfully resolve and win DUI cases.

Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys have received advanced level training on the strategies that win the most DUI cases at trial and are also used to get DUI cases successfully resolved for the defense prior to trial. Members of the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys also have access to the resources and tools that are used to win and successfully resolve DUI cases and these are resources and tools that only a very small percentage of DUI attorneys have access to and use.
