To protect your rights, it’s important to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney right away.

We Can Help Build A Sound Defense

As a serious traffic violation, DUI/DWI can result in heavy penalties, even for first-time offenders. If convicted, you could face fines of up to $1,000, six months in jail and community service, as well as a one-year license suspension. In addition, a conviction or guilty plea will significantly increase your insurance rates.

Our lawyers have more than 50 years of combined trial experience handling drunk driving cases. We are not afraid to challenge police reports and other evidence, exploring questions such as:

  • Did police have probable cause to stop you?
  • Were the results of your Breathalyzer or field sobriety tests valid?
  • What other factors could have affected results?
  • How was your stop conducted?
  • Were you informed of your rights?

We Defend You In Criminal Court And In Administrative Hearings

Every DUI case has two parts, and you will be required to attend a criminal hearing and possibly an Administrative Per Se hearing before the DMV. Even if you win one case, you may not necessarily win the other without experienced representation.

Our attorneys have extensive experience representing individuals in criminal and DMV Per Se hearings. We attend every hearing and work diligently to protect you from possible license suspension and other penalties.
