Field Sobriety Test Lawyer

Once the police pull you over for suspicion of driving while intoxicated, they may ask you to perform Field Sobriety Tests. These tests supposedly prove to the police that you are indeed intoxicated. However, there are many flaws associated with these tests and it is because of the reliability of these tests and the training of the person administering them that can work to create a winning criminal defense for your case.

There are 3 Standardized Field Sobriety Tests that the police utilize to determine intoxication in Dallas, Texas.
