DUI ARREST

After a DUI arrest, there are several things that you should consider and act upon quickly. A DUI charge is very serious and carries serious consequences. These include loss of freedom and liberty, possible jail or prison, large fines, and other collateral consequences including a negative impact on your future.

If you blew over a .08 or if you refused to provide a breath sample then your Drivers License has already been suspended and you were given a temporary license to drive. If this is the case you only have 10 days to request a formal review hearing for the suspension. If you do not do that immediately, your license will remain suspended for the time period required by law. This is very important because the aw says 10 days to apply for an administrative hearing and that time limit is strictly adhered to. You can apply for this hearing yourself or I can do it for you once I am retained.

An experienced and dedicated DUI criminal defense attorney can sometimes make the difference between no defenses being found and a multitude of dui defenses available. I have spent my entire career, over 12 years, defending people accused of Drunk Driving. I provide a balanced yet aggressive approach to representing my clients. I understand my Client’s are real people with real concerns, including the dui consequences if convicted. I have built a reputation of being very aggressive and very effective in the court room before a Judge or Jury.

DUI CHARGES ARE BEATABLE

Although drunk driving charges are very complex, they are beatable. There are many areas of the law that protect citizens from over zealous police actions, including false arrest and the methods used in an investigation. Unfortunately, laws are often disregarded in the pursuit of a DUI Arrest, which may provide for the basis of a motion to suppress the evidence against you and / or a dismissal of the charges. The officers opinions, techniques, and the machines used to accuse a person of drunk driving are often the subject of successful challenges, and the evidence that is used by the prosecutor is often times contradictory to their other evidence.
