What Does It Mean to Fight a DUI?

Lawyers that represent clients facing DUI charges use the term “fight your DUI” really frequently. It sounds great, but very few people understand what it means to challenge a DUI case.

In those cases, there really is no “fight.” That is the truth of the matter, and that is a great thing. Very few of my clients actually want to endure the stress and anxiety of a trial.

Fighting a DUI case takes many different forms and it can be a combination of things. Generally speaking, the best DUI lawyers try to exploit a multitude of different legal and factual challenges in order to create leverage in your case.
