Just because you failed the different tests administered on you when you got arrested for DWI in Anchorage, Alaska, it does not mean that a DWI conviction is 100% sure to follow. Field sobriety tests, for example are not sure science and more importantly, if you failed these tests, they are not a clear indication that you were under the influence or intoxicated at the time of driving. An experienced DWI lawyer could surely challenge if the tests are administered properly and could even go back to the location of the arrest to make sure that the tests are done in a suitable location.

Another challenge that could be brought up is with regard to the breath test machine. A good DWI lawyer could definitely challenge if the breath test machine that was used to administer your breath test was working properly. The results of these different tests could mean the difference between a reckless driving charge and a DWI charge. A good DWI lawyer would investigate every aspect of the tests that are administered on you to make sure that you get fair results that you deserve and help you find a way to keep your driver’s license.
