Reader’s Question:

I am afraid my brother’s DUI arrest in Issaquah Plateau, Washington would have a negative impact on his record. Isn’t that everyone who is arrested for DUI guilty of the charge?

It is absolutely not true that the belief that everyone who is arrested for DUI guilty of the charge. This is what we call “The Guilt Myth.” There are numerous ways in which a person could be falsely accused of DUI and your brother’s DUI arrest in Issaquah Plateau, Washington could just be one of them. For example, breathalyzers and field sobriety tests are extremely unreliable. If having a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent is a crime and 0.079 is not, and if alcohol absorption is a time-sensitive process which varies with a person’s metabolism, a false accusation is highly possible that countless Americans have been the victim of.

It is a damaging myth that even some lawyers believe the notion that everyone who is accused of a DUI is guilty of the charge. But unconsciously, no lawyer who believes this myth is worthy of representing your brother on his DUI charge. If your brother certainly believes that he is innocent of the DUI charges against him, he needs to find a DUI lawyer who would definitely fight to prove just that.
