How We Defend DUI Charges in Louisville
🧍♂️ Challenging the Traffic Stop
🚔 Questioning Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are subjective and prone to error. Medical conditions, fatigue, poor lighting, uneven pavement, or improper instructions can invalidate test results.
🧪 Reviewing Breathalyzer & Blood Test Accuracy
Breath and blood tests are not infallible. We carefully review testing procedures and documentation.
Calibration and maintenance records
Officer training and certification
Chain-of-custody issues
Timing errors and contamination risks
Suppressing Illegally Obtained Evidence
If your constitutional rights were violated — including unlawful searches or
improper questioning — we file motions to exclude that evidence from court.
Protecting Your Driver’s License
In Kentucky, DUI cases involve two separate proceedings:
- Criminal court case
- Administrative license suspension
Many people lose their license simply because they don’t act quickly enough. Farra Law Firm moves fast to:
- Request administrative hearings
- Fight license suspension
- Pursue hardship or restricted driving privileges
Don’t assume your license is already gone — talk to a DUI lawyer first.

While no attorney can promise results, our DUI defense goals are always focused on minimizing damage to your life:

- Dismissed cases where possible
- Avoiding or minimizing jail time
- Protecting your driver’s license
