DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
You need to hire a new lawyer if you hired the first lawyer. If he is court appointed or a public defender you can ask for a Marsden hearing. You might want to talk to your current lawyer, maybe he based his advice on your information which was contradicted by the police report and/or his investigation of the case. Sometimes I tell clients, if that is true, then we have a good issue.

What will happen if my husband refused to take breathalyzer?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
He may be in big trouble. In most states (every state) there is what is called the implied consent law. These means that when you get your license and you drive on the roads of the state, you give implied consent that you will submit to a breath test if requested by an officer. If you refuse, then Department of Licensing WILL revoke his license for one year (minimum). This is the case, even if he were found not guilty of the DUI. My advice: HIRE AN ATTORNEY.
