Background: My son is 27 years old and has always been careful not to drink and drive and never considered that he could still show any level of alcohol usage the day after. He was pulled over because he changed lanes across a solid line. The officer said he smelled alcohol on his breath and did the field breathalyzer test. Is there any chance he could be acquitted or have charges reduced? This is a 1st offense DWI.
There is a possibility of a great many things happening at trial including jail time. Therefore, your son should hire a lawyer to represent him. The likelihood of success depends on several factors which a lawyer will need to explore with your son.
