DUI – DID U INVESTIGATE With Kevin McClain

Your client gets pulled over for a suspected DUI, what things should the officer do and say? If they conduct Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), what do they accomplish and what should you watch out for in their report?  Let Kevin McClain teach us how to properly defend these kinds of cases, what you can expect the other side to pay attention to and remind the court about?  He will also provide you with the kinds of things you should ask for, both through FOIA and Subpoena’s. This is one not to miss!
