Field sobriety tests are the next step in investigating your sobriety. Law enforcement will use the evidence they gather with these tests as the foundation for your prosecution. I can help you fight the impact these tests can have on your case.
At the law office of James M. Wagman, Attorney at Law, I understand how important it is to fight every facet of the prosecution's case against you. I am James Wagman, and I have been helping people successfully fight DWI charges for more than 25 years. I know how to effectively deal with field sobriety tests, including:
