Understanding the Charges
Navigating the complexities of DUI and traffic laws requires a knowledgeable and experienced attorney. The consequences of a conviction can be far-reaching, and it is essential to understand the charges you are facing.
DUI/DWI
In this state, it is illegal to drive or be in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the extent that your normal faculties are impaired. A DUI can be charged as a misdemeanor or a felony, depending on factors such as prior convictions, the presence of a minor in the vehicle, or if an accident resulted in serious injury or death.
Serious Traffic Offenses
We also handle a wide range of other serious traffic-related offenses, including reckless driving, driving with a suspended license, leaving the scene of an accident, and vehicular manslaughter. These are not simple traffic tickets; they are criminal charges that carry serious penalties.

Our Approach to Your Defense
Our skilled DUI and traffic defense attorneys will carefully review every aspect of your case to develop a strong and effective defense strategy. We do not simply plead our clients guilty; we fight for them.
Challenge the Traffic Stop
The police must have a valid, legal reason to pull you over. We will investigate the circumstances of the traffic stop to determine if your constitutional rights were violated. If the stop was illegal, the evidence obtained as a result of the stop may be suppressed.
Challenge the Field Sobriety Tests
Field sobriety tests are notoriously unreliable and are often administered improperly. We will challenge the administration and interpretation of these subjective tests.
Challenge the Breath or Blood Test
Breathalyzer machines are not always accurate, and blood samples can be contaminated or improperly handled. We will challenge the accuracy and reliability of the chemical test results in your case.
Represent You at the DMV Hearing
In addition to the criminal case, you are also facing a separate administrative action against your driver's license. We will represent you at the DMV hearing and fight to protect your driving privileges.
