Is there any way to beat a DUI charge?
I was arrested for a DUI. I had four beers in four hours and had a meal. So I should have been under the legal limit. I was given a pbt but refused blood. Ii thought it would hurt any case I might have. And I have witnesses as to how much I drank.

Absolutely it is possible to successfully defend against DUI and other criminal charges. It happens thousands of times each month, and very often if there are weaknesses in the case there will not even be a trial as the lawyer will convince the prosecutor to drop the case or allow you to plead guilty to a far lesser charge, such as speeding.
It depends on all the facts and circumstances, the evidence the police have, your prior record and the quality of your lawyer.
Many of the grounds for challenging a DUI can be found on https://law.FreeAdvice.com under DUI/DWI. The best way to find a good DUI lawyer is on http://www.AttorneyPages.com.
