DEFENSES GIVE YOU POWER

We use defenses as leverage to get you the best possible outcome in your case.

NO REASONABLE SUSPICION

When an officer stops you, he must have a reasonable suspicion that a crime is occurring. No reasonable suspicion? Then the arrest was bad, and everything steming from the stop is thrown out

NO PROBABLE CAUSE

In order for an officer to arrest you there must be a reasonable belief that you commited a crime. No reasonable belief? Then the arrest was bad and everything steming from the arrest is thrown out.

DRIVING CAN NOT BE PROVED

Driving is an essential element of this crime. The State must prove that a driving occured, and that you were the one driving. This sitution occurs when a person is passed out or when a car is broken down. No proof of driving means no crime.

OBSERVATION TIME NOT RESPECTED

Prior to administering any breath analyzer, an officer must have continuously observed you for at least 15 minutes for any burping and/or vomiting which may give the analyzer a false read. No observation, means no lawful arrest.

MALFUNCTIONING DEVICE

Not suprisingly, analyzers do break down, malfunction, and at times are not maintained well. We can get a history of the machine used to test you. The machine may have had problems in the past or was not maintained well. Bad machine means no charge.

FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS DONT WORK

Field Sobriety Tests, in our opinion, are designed for people to fail. Many people can not pass theses tests sober. Balance, cordination, sight, and memory tests can not accurately determine whether or not you were under the influence. Moreover, most officers do not know how to administer or evaluate these tests correctly.

MOUTH ALCOHOL

Devices are created to measure how much alcohol you have in breath from deep inside your lungs. However, when you have alcohol residual in your mouth or lining the inside of your mouth, the device will read a false high blood alcohol level. Alcohol in the mouth can come from acid reflux, medicines, mouth spray, and dental work that traps liquids and/or foods in your mouth.

RISING BLOOD ALCOHOL LEVEL

Many times, officers will not administer an analyzer test as soon as they stop you. Alcohol takes time to be absorbed. So while you might not have had a high blood alcohol level when you were driving, it might have gotten there during the investigation.

How we use Defenses

The defenses above are just a few of the defenses we can use in your case. Every case and client is different. What can work in some cases, might not be able to work in other cases. We at Taylor Solano & Associates do not believe in "cookie cutter" or "one size fits all" defenses. We believe in tailoring the right defense to benefit the indivdual client.

The usage of defenses, regardless of their strengths can be used in many ways to help your case. Such as:

1. Dismissing the case.
2. Dismissing certain charges.
3. Dismissing enhancements.
4. Reducing charges.
5. Reducing penalties.
6. Negotiating a better plea deal, and
7. Eliminating evidence which can be used against you at trial.

At Taylor Solano & Associates we use all discovery devices allowed by law to determine if we can use any defense to get the best possible outcome for you.

We know its a stressful time for you. We want to help reduce that stress by taking your case over and getting you passed this bump in the road in your life. That does not mean we take any agreement or plea deal. That means that we fight for an outcome that years from now you will be happy with, not one where you feel pressured or forced to accept.
