    Defense of Drunk Driving Cases features a Practice Guide written by a drunk driving defense expert. From pinpointing the elements of the defense to delivering the arguments to the jury, the Practice Guide addresses how to handle a drunk driving case from the initial client contact through appeal, including sample cross-examination, illustrative testimony and sample forms and motions. The author of the Practice Guide, Richard J. Essen, of Essen, Essen, Susaneck & Cohen, P.A., Aventura, Florida, is a well-known authority and public speaker on effective strategies for defending drunk driving cases and the implications of maintaining a drunk driving defense practice.

  • Motions to suppress
  • Pretrial discovery
  • Implied consent laws
  • Self-incrimination and unlawful search and seizure

  • Extensive case annotations from all jurisdictions
  • Trial tactics and appeals procedures

    • This indispensable reference also describes the scientific and mathematical foundations of chemical testing and their relation to a case with clear, non-technical explanations found in no other source. Discover the mechanics of blood, urine, and saliva analysis, as well as the background and uses of breath-testing devices for alcohol detection. Learn about the many pathological conditions whose symptoms sometimes resemble intoxication, leading to improper arrests and false positive test results. The scientific material in Defense of Drunk Driving Cases is regularly updated by Harvey M. Cohen, Director, Cambridge Technical Associates, Needham, Massachusetts, a noted forensic consultant who has testified in drunk driving-related cases throughout the United States and Canada about the effects of alcohol and the techniques used to measure alcohol in the body.
