Jennifer Watkins builds defense strategies by reviewing every detail of an arrest and the evidence behind it. She examines whether the police had reasonable suspicion to stop a driver and probable cause to make an arrest. She also challenges weak field sobriety testing, improper procedures, and unreliable BAC results when the facts support it. With a careful method, she works to keep unfair evidence out of court and pursue the best possible outcome for every client.
