Why You Need a Public Intoxication Attorney

When an officer decides to confront you over suspected public intoxication, the encounter doesn’t always go smoothly. It can end with the officer detecting alcohol on your breath and arresting you on the spot.

Unfortunately, once you’re charged, there’s typically only one path to a dismissal: taking the case to trial. Prosecutors aren’t paid to dismiss cases — they’re paid to try them or to secure a guilty plea. That’s why it’s critical to work with an attorney experienced in these specific cases.

Find a Lawyer With Relevant Experience

Attorney Enrique Ramirez has handled so many public intoxication cases that he’s often more familiar with proper field sobriety test procedure than the officers involved. That knowledge can expose gaps in an officer’s protocol under cross-examination, opening the door to a favorable outcome. It’s just one example of how Mr. Ramirez and an experienced criminal defense lawyer can change the outcome of your case.
