How We Defend DUI Charges in Louisville

A DUI arrest does not mean a conviction. DUI cases often involve technical errors, procedural violations, or unreliable testing methods. Matt Farra conducts a detailed review of every aspect of the arrest and investigation, including:

🧍‍♂️ Challenging the Traffic Stop

Police must have legal justification to pull you over. If the stop lacked reasonable suspicion or probable cause, evidence gathered afterward may be suppressed.

🚔 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:

  1. Criminal court case

  2. 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.
