Welcome to Akins Nowlin & Prewitt: Understanding Field Sobriety Test Inaccuracies

We understand the high stakes involved and strive to connect you with attorneys skilled in disputing the reliability of field sobriety tests.

The Problem with Standardized Tests
Field sobriety tests are designed to give law enforcement a quick way to assess impairment. However, these standardized tests do not account for individual differences. Not everyone has the same balance, coordination, and ability to perform under pressure. Mistakes can happen, but when they do, it is not necessarily an indication of guilt.
These tests are often administered on the side of a busy road, with distracting noises and lights. An individual may simply be unable to focus, leading to a poor performance on the test. We take these concerns seriously, and we're ready to help dispute inaccuracies on your behalf.
Natural Physical Limitations
Physical limitations stemming from medical conditions, age, or permanent injuries can lead to misleading test results. A person with a history of knee problems, for instance, may struggle with the "walk-and-turn" test. It is crucial to consider these individual health factors when evaluating the legitimacy of field sobriety test results.
At Akins Nowlin & Prewitt, we take the time to understand the unique factors that might affect your ability to pass a sobriety test. We know these circumstances are complex and deserve thorough evaluation.
Environmental Conditions and Sobriety Testing
Environmental factors like poor lighting, uneven pavement, or inclement weather can all contribute to a failed sobriety test. It's unfair to expect an individual to perform physical tasks under such conditions accurately.
We firmly believe that setting matters and that field sobriety tests should take into account the surrounding environment. Your legal defense should explore each of these issues to provide a comprehensive argument against inaccurate results.
How Field Sobriety Test Results Impact DUI Cases
The results from field sobriety tests critically impact DUI cases, but it's important to remember that they are not the ultimate decider in a court of law. At Akins Nowlin & Prewitt, we ensure that you are fully aware of the implications these tests can have on your situation and help challenge any inaccuracies that could weaken your defense.
While the outcome of these tests may form part of the evidence against you, there is always room to question their validity. Our approach centers around a detailed analysis of your case, leveraging the possibility of test inaccuracies to bolster your defense.
A failed field sobriety test does not have to define your case's outcome. Allow our team to bridge the gap between a questionable test result and a strong legal defense. You only need to make one call to (512) 244-0001 to start turning the tides in your favor.
Challenging the Field Sobriety Test in Court
In a courtroom, the way in which a field sobriety test was conducted can be scrutinized. If the administering officer wasn't adequately trained or failed to follow proper procedures, the test results could be deemed unreliable. We are equipped to pursue every avenue to ensure you receive a fair trial.
Our attorneys understand the intricacies of DUI law and are adept at identifying flaws within sobriety testing. Their insight could prove invaluable in safeguarding your future.
Evidence Beyond Field Sobriety Tests
Often, other forms of evidence, such as dashcam footage or breathalyzer results, accompany field sobriety test outcomes. These pieces can complicate your case, but they can also provide opportunities to uncover additional inaccuracies or procedural errors.
We employ a comprehensive defense strategy that looks at the bigger picture, not just a snapshot provided by a field sobriety test. This holistic approach allows us to build a compelling defense tailored to your specific circumstances.
The Importance of Expert Witnesses
In some cases, bringing in an expert witness who can speak to the science behind field sobriety tests or your particular condition can be impactful. These professionals can challenge the presumptions that sobriety test results present and provide crucial context.
At Akins Nowlin & Prewitt, we have a network of such experts, ready to aid in your defense. Their testimonies can shift perceptions and potentially turn the outcome in your favor.
