Table of Contents [Show]

When you're pulled over by law enforcement, it feels like everything is out of your control, but it's vital to remember that you have rights that protect you, even in unexpected situations such as a DUI stop. At Gattis Law Firm PC, our mission is to empower drivers by shedding light on the complexities of the law and connecting them with skilled attorneys who can pore over the specifics of their case. If you've been stopped for suspicion of DUI, challenging the legality of the traffic stop may be a critical component of your defense strategy. We understand that not all traffic stops are legitimate, and we're here to uncover the truth and fight for your rights. Remember, justice is just a call away at [(512) 868-5400].

First and foremost, knowing your rights during a traffic stop can make all the difference. Our attorneys will walk you through what the law enforces and what constitutes reasonable suspicion for a stop. Some key points include:

- You have the right to remain silent While you must provide your identification and vehicle registration, you're not required to answer incriminating questions.

- Refusing sobriety tests Learn the potential consequences of refusing field sobriety or breathalyzer tests and how refusal can impact your case.

- Search and seizure laws Understand under what circumstances your vehicle can legally be searched and how these laws protect you.

The legality of the initial traffic stop can underpin your entire defense. A traffic stop requires just cause, meaning law enforcement must have a valid reason to pull you over. Our attorneys can scrutinize the reason given for your stop and if it holds up under legal scrutiny, which could be a game-changer in the defense of your case.

- Challenging probable cause We'll explain why the reason for your stop needs to be legally sound.

- Disputing officer observations Sometimes what an officer deems as reasonable suspicion can be subjective. We'll delve deep to question these observations.

- Reviewing dashcam footage If available, dashcam footage can be critical evidence. We know how to use it effectively in your defense.
