This course will help you to understand how to evaluate the State’s evidence (traffic stops, field sobriety tests, breath and blood testing) and will provide necessary information to save the client’s driver’s license (Administrative License Revocation Hearings). The course discussion will also delve into the ethics involved in fee setting, client expectations, criminal investigations and evidence as well as dealings with the State. This course features streaming video and downloadable audio presentations from a CLE seminar by the Houston Bar Association (HBA) on September 17, 2021.
