What are the biggest challenges you face in defending Washington, D.C. DUI cases?
Washington, D.C. criminal defense lawyer Nabeel Kibria discusses the biggest challenges he faces in defending Washington, D.C. DUI cases. He remarks that the biggest challenge in handling a DUI case often arises when the client is, in fact, innocent. A person may have had a few drinks the evening they were pulled over, but that does not necessarily mean they were under the influence. The key in such cases is either gathering evidence to prove the client was not impaired or attacking the government’s evidence that suggests otherwise.
He notes that DUI cases are highly sensitive and nuanced. The most difficult situations occur when a client is truly innocent, requiring the defense to either dismantle the prosecution’s case or present evidence showing the client was not under the influence at the time of driving.
