Dear traffic lawyer,
I am reaching out to you with an urgent question regarding a wrongful accusation of driving under the influence. Last week, I was stopped by the police and subjected to a breathalyzer test, which showed a positive result. However, I was sober at the time and had not consumed any alcohol. Despite my protests, I was then charged with driving under the influence.
This accusation has put me in an extremely difficult situation, as my driver's license has been temporarily suspended and I am unable to continue my job as a field sales representative. Additionally, I am very concerned about my reputation and future, as a conviction for driving under the influence would have significant consequences for me.
Therefore, I am requesting urgent assistance and advice from you on how to defend myself against this wrongful accusation. Are there ways to challenge the breathalyzer test or gather further evidence to prove my innocence? What steps should I take next to protect my rights and fight the charges?
I thank you in advance for your help and am ready to provide additional information or documents to further explain my situation.
Sincerely,
Elvira Hacker
Dear Mrs. Hacker,
I thank you for your trust and contacting me in this difficult situation. A false accusation of driving under the influence can have serious consequences, both personally and professionally. It is important that you act quickly to prove your innocence and defend against the charges.
First and foremost, it is important to mention that alcohol tests are not always reliable and false positive results can occur. There are various reasons why an alcohol test may come back falsely positive, such as medical reasons, certain dietary habits, or even external influences like mouthwash or medications. Therefore, it is advisable to challenge the alcohol test and gather further evidence to prove your innocence.
As a traffic law attorney, I recommend that you promptly seek the assistance of a lawyer who has experience with cases of false accusations of driving under the influence. Your lawyer can help you challenge the alcohol test, conduct additional tests, and gather more evidence to support your innocence. It is important that you provide all relevant information and documents to support your case as best as possible.
Furthermore, you should take all steps to protect your rights and defend against the charges. This means complying with all deadlines, cooperating with authorities, and supporting your lawyer in all steps. It is important that you remain calm and focus on defending your innocence.
In your case, it is also important to consider that you may not be able to continue your job as a field sales representative. Your lawyer can help you minimize potential impacts on your workplace and, if necessary, pursue compensation claims.
I am here to provide further explanation of your situation and assist you in defending against the false accusation. Do not hesitate to contact me to schedule a detailed consultation.
Sincerely,
Jessica Lange
Traffic Law Attorney
