Field Sobriety Tests
Reviewing Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are subject to much individual action, observation and judgment. They are sufficiently open to error to demand certain factors be reviewed if these tests were used in your DUI case. Points that should be looked into include:
- Were the NHTSA Standardized Tests used?
- Were the tests conducted fairly and with clear instructions?
- Did weather or road conditions inhibit your ability to competently execute the demands of the tests?
- Was there any physical condition or disability present that affected your actions while the tests were being performed?
- Was the police officer involved operating from an impartial position?
- Was the officer properly trained in the administration of these tests?
- If you refused to take part in the tests, were you advised as to the consequences involved?

Lynnwood DUI Attorney
Having had much experience assisting individuals with DUI charges, I appreciate the position in which you find yourself. The possibility that you may lose your license, have a criminal record and face certain
penalties can be overwhelming. There are, however, many actions I can take in seeking an acquittal for you. One of these includes challenging any field sobriety tests related to your case. I am certified in the NHTSA Field Sobriety Program, which is the same course that police officers are required to complete in order to perform such tests. This affords me a solid command of the subject and the ability to identify issues which indicate injustices. When these are presented to the court, they may have a significant bearing on the outcome of your case.
