A DUI arrest can be a frightening and embarrassing experience. Upon being pulled over, a driver is immediately at risk of being arrested and charged with drunk driving, and although he or she may be given the opportunity to prove sobriety by way of a field sobriety testing or a breath or blood test, there are too many faults with these to ensure 100% accuracy in determining intoxication or a driver who is under the influence of a controlled substance.

At The Brunk Law Firm, PLLC, we are experienced in defending clients facing drunk driving charges throughout all of Northern Kentucky. We understand how to fully investigate and challenge every single aspect of a DUI arrest to ensure that our client’s rights were not violated at any point. For example, what if the arresting officer did not have probable cause to pull our client over in the first place? What if the officer was inexperienced or untrained in administering field sobriety tests? These are issues we can look at in regard to your arrest to determine how to build a case on your behalf.
