Yes! Do not assume the worst just because a police officer or prosecutor claims to have an airtight case against you. Remember, it is their job to get a conviction - not respect your legal rights. There are many potential defenses in a DUI case. The police might not have had the legal right to take your blood or breath sample for testing. In this case, the court can rule it inadmissible, and the prosecution cannot use the results against you at trial.
Irregularities with the testing equipment, at the lab, or in the field may have made the test results unreliable. Here, too, the prosecution can be left without its most compelling piece of evidence against you. These are just a few of many examples. Never assume there is no way to defend yourself without consulting a lawyer who is actually on your side.
