Texas DWI attorneys Stephen Hamilton and Nicky Boatwright have both completed training for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) standardized field sobriety tests (SFST). This helps them evaluate performance on the roadside tests, and more importantly, evaluate the officer’s performance and instructions during the DWI arrest.
Texas DWI Attorney, Stephen Hamilton has attended the Robert F. Borkenstien course on Alcohol and Highway Safety, Testing, Research and Legislation taught at Indiana University. This is the same course the prosecutor’s Intoxilyzer experts attended. As a result of this training, we are better able to contest any Intoxilyzer evidence that the prosecutor attempts to introduce in a DWI trial.
As a Texas DWI lawyer, Mr. Hamilton has completed training under the Department of Transportation guidelines as an Intoxilyzer 5000 Operator and Technician. This is the same breath machine that police use in testing alcohol level after a DWI arrest. Further, he has also completed training under the Department of Transportation guidelines as an Intoxilyzer 5000 Instructor. Stephen has trained other Texas DWI attorneys on how the Intoxilyzer works and how to attack the inaccuracies of the breath test machine. This training gives us the ability to know the weaknesses of the breath machine used by Texas police in order to better fight the DWI charge.
Texas DWI attorneys Stephen Hamilton and Nicky Boatwright own an Intoxilyzer 5000 so as to take to court during a DWI / DUI trial to visually prove it’s inability to work accurately 100% of the time
Nicky and Stephen also own a portable breath test machine. If you had a breath sample taken during your Field Sobriety test (FST), this is the same technology that was used.
