1. Tell me where you were before being approached by the police? Most clients are somewhere consuming alcohol. This could be your home, a bar, restaurant, party or another venue. This information will give your attorney a starting point in determining your alcohol consumption and time frame, which the alcohol was consumed.
2. What were you drinking, and how much? Drinking beer, wine or liquor makes a difference, and of course the amount of alcohol you consumed. You may not remember exact amounts, but even a good guess or estimation will give your attorney a lot of valuable information to assess your case.
3. When and how long ago did you consume alcohol prior to being approached by the police? I always use this example with clients. If you’re stone cold sober, and you do a quick shot of alcohol, and jump behind the wheel, your blood alcohol content is going to be at 0.00 for a short period of time. Only after some time passes, will your body absorb the alcohol, and you will register a blood alcohol content. This important information will allow your attorney to compare the test results to what you actually consumed.
