About Brannen Payne

My extreme focus on DWI defense isn’t the only thing that sets us apart from the “door law” firms out there. My undergraduate degree is Philosophy. My wife is a Professor of Substance Abuse and Addictions at the University of Arkansas. It goes without saying that our goal in life was never to rake in piles of cash by whatever means possible (we actually met as co-workers in a prison when we were both getting started in our careers). Instead, the goal of the firm is something pretty extraordinary and unusual—to actually help clients fight their charge, preserve their futures, and to allow them to pass us the burden of worrying about their case as we move forward.

Keeping FSTs Out of a Trial

04/23/2025

Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...
