When deciding on the right lawyer to help fight your DUI case, it is of the utmost importance that your lawyer promise to interview the arresting police officer. Interviewing the officer allows your attorney to analyze facts beyond what is contained in a police report. If the police officer provides information that is inconsistent with what is in the report, we can use this information to attack the officer’s credibility. Additionally, the interview allows us to gather information beyond what is included in the report. This information includes whether our clients were actually impaired and whether the stop was legitimate.
Interviewing an police officer is a critical step in a DUI investigation
Interviews must be conducted in every case. Not only does Matthew Lopez Law interview police officers, we provide our clients with copies of the interview.
