Can a Lawyer Challenge the Traffic Stop That Led to My DWI Arrest?

Yes. Police need reasonable suspicion to stop a vehicle. If the officer lacked a valid reason for the stop, the defense may seek to challenge evidence obtained afterward, including field sobriety tests, Alcotest results, and statements made during the investigation.

Your lawyer should review body-camera footage, dash-camera video, dispatch records, and the officer’s report to test the stated reason for the stop. 

Matthew Cohan’s team examines the police conduct from the initial stop through the arrest and breath-testing process.
