Staying up to date in the legal world is crucial, and Jody L. Sellers and The Sellers Law Firm, LLC, are constantly training to ensure they stay at the top of the criminal defense field.  As DUI attorneys, The Sellers Law Firm, LLC, ensures they stay sharp on the latest practice tips and nuances in the law, including attacking DUI reports and videos in court.

Recently, Jody L. Sellers “received advanced level training, from the American Association of Premier DUI Attorneys, on attacking DUI reports and videos in DUI cases. To effectively attack DUI reports and videos, it is critical to know and use the officer’s NHTSA Manuals against him. Even the most experienced officers miss important steps and make mistakes in DUI investigations, which can result in people being wrongfully arrested for DUI. Some key areas to focus attention on are: discrepancies between the police report and the video, officers who ignore/downplay/neglect injuries and medical conditions, the officer’s instructions and demonstrations of the field sobriety tests, an officer’s use of trick questions, improper classification of clues, copy and pasting errors, misused keywords, and poor quality reports when a video is present. This training was provided by Peter Krantz, a former law enforcement officer who was a Drug Recognition Expert and a Standardized Field Sobriety Testing Instructor. Peter has transitioned out of law enforcement and is now in law school to become an attorney who will defend people who are arrested for DUI.”  AAPDA (2022).
