John Carlson recently received advanced level training, from the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, on taking advantage of the new NHTSA Manuals and using the golden nuggets of information found in them to win DUI cases for the defense. It is critically important for clients to hire an attorney who has a solid understanding of the information found in an officer’s police DUI training manuals and knows how to use that information against the officer at trail. In the updated NHTSA manuals, there is a variety of information that the defense can use to effectively win DUI cases. Some examples of this positive information for the defense are: video and/or audio evidence should be consistent with other evidence, it is impossible to obtain a legally admissible chemical test result until after the arrest has been made, chemical test evidence is presumptive evidence – not conclusive evidence, and it is possible for a person to be acquitted of DUI when their Blood Alcohol Concentration is above the legal limit. This training was provided by Dave Cox, 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.
