DUI Defense: I Am On Your Side

Driving under the influence (DUI) charges do not discriminate. People from all walks of life have faced drunk driving charges. While this is a stressful time, it is important to remember that there are defenses to criminal charges, and a skilled criminal defense lawyer can help minimize the potential consequences.

I am attorney Ryan Kolbeck. At the Kolbeck Law Office in Sioux Falls, I help defend people throughout eastern South Dakota who have been accused of DUI.

Building The Strongest Possible Defense

Many people mistakenly assume that if they fail a roadside sobriety test or if their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is measured as being over the legal limit, they will be automatically found guilty of DUI. The fact is roadside sobriety tests are subjective and are weighted toward law enforcement. A Breathalyzer machine may have not been calibrated properly, skewing the results. The police may not have even had sufficient probable cause to stop you in the first place, which means any evidence stemming from the stop is inadmissible.

I will take the time to thoroughly review the circumstances surrounding your criminal arrest, looking for holes to poke in the prosecution’s case. If getting your charges dismissed is not possible, we can discuss the potential for a less serious charge or suspended imposition. I prepare every case as if it is going to trial, and we can take your case to a jury if that is what is in your best interest. I will ensure that your rights remain protected every step of the way.
