A DUI case is a very challenging task that a defense lawyer could handle because the District Attorney prosecutes DUI cases all day and the DA is willing to use all the fine legal points that are available. But a good DUI defense lawyer could be able to build defenses that could possibly win your sister’s DUI case in Owensboro, Kentucky. In a DUI offense, the law says that the police officer only needs to prove that your sister was not able to drive her car safely after drinking or her blood alcohol exceeds the legal limit. This may sound pretty cut and dried, but it is not quite as simple as that.

A DUI defense lawyer would surely challenge the case because the DA has to show that the police officer properly made the DUI arrest and that your sister was properly advised of her rights under Kentucky DUI laws. The DUI lawyer can also challenge that the equipment used for the test was working accurately and even the person who was operating the equipment has proper and current certification. A good DUI defense lawyer can get all the information that can prove your sister innocent.
