Is someone you know dealing with a DUI charge involving alcohol or drugs? Understanding how the law differentiates between these cases is key, and that's where we come in-because the differences are not just subtle, they're legally significant. We pride ourselves on providing clarity and support during these perplexing times. Whether you are dealing with an alcohol or drug DUI, our expert attorneys at John M Lane Law are equipped to help navigate the complex legal landscape.

Facing DUI charges can feel like you're walking through a maze blindfolded. Fear not, because John M Lane Law is here to remove the blindfold and guide you step by step. It's crucial to recognize that the defenses available in an alcohol DUI case may differ substantially from those in a drug DUI scenario. By understanding these nuances, our experts can tailor a defense strategy that best fits your situation.

Alcohol DUIs might seem straightforward, but there's a lot that goes into a case. The key focus is on Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). This number can make or break your case, but remember, it's not the be-all and end-all. Factors like improper stop or issues with breathalyzer accuracy can come into play.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, but rest assured, our lawyers are masters at dissecting these factors. They're equipped with the expertise to challenge these tests and navigate the case towards a more favorable outcome.

When it comes to drug DUIs, things can get tricky. Illegal, prescription, and even some over-the-counter drugs can lead to charges. Unlike alcohol, there's no neat little number like BAC to measure impairment here.

As your legal ally, John M Lane Law looks into the specifics of your testing and arrest. With precision and a keen eye for detail, we scrutinize everything from the legality of the traffic stop to the reliability of the drug tests administered. That's how we find those key points that could make a world of difference in your defense.

Our team understands the intricacies of both alcohol and drug DUIs like the backs of our hands. A personalized defense is what sets a successful case apart, and that's exactly what we aim to provide.

Did you know that virtually every state has set a legal BAC limit of 0.08% for drivers 21 and over? Exceeding this limit is often all the proof needed for an alcohol DUI charge. But just because a number says one thing doesn't mean there's no room for interpretation and defense.

A breathalyzer test isn't foolproof. We've seen firsthand that these gadgets can be wrong, and how proper calibration and operation are vital. Your reading could be off due to a variety of factors-something our team is well-versed in investigating.

Drug DUIs lack the clarity of a defined limit like BAC. Laws often state that no person should drive under the influence of any drug that impairs driving ability-but what counts as impairment? And how do you measure it? These are essential questions we help answer.

We dig deep into the evidence presented, examining the test results and procedures used during the arrest. Were the field sobriety tests administered properly? Is there a legitimate medical prescription? We leave no stone unturned.

Good defense doesn't come from cookie-cutter solutions-it's tailor-made. That's why we approach every alcohol and drug DUI case with fresh eyes. We look at everything from the reason for the traffic stop to the officer's experience and training.

Laws and procedures differ from state to state, and knowing these variations is crucial. Our attorneys are skilled at finding those pivotal legal details that can alter the course of your case. You're not just a case number to us; you're someone who deserves a detailed, pointed defense.

We know the seriousness of a DUI charge and how daunting it can be. But remember, you've got a team ready to listen and spring into action. Just dial (512) 712-4794 and let's take the first step together towards clearing your name.
