Criminal DUI Charges

I work quickly to request administrative hearings on behalf of my clients and thoroughly represent them at that hearing. I interview my clients to learn the facts of the case and to determine if any legal rights or procedures were violated, including search and seizure laws and Miranda warnings.

I obtain forensic alcohol experts to analyze the blood sample for preservatives, contamination, and blood alcohol content, and to testify regarding the accuracy or maintenance of the breathalyzer or other alcohol testing equipment. In addition, I question the officers regarding their training and their ability to conduct an accurate field sobriety test. I also order the CAD log to determine the accuracy of their statements.

Results

I work diligently to assert factual defenses, legal defenses, or both. In addition, I work with the prosecutor to negotiate a reduced sentence or an alternative sentence, such as in patient treatment, in home monitoring, electronic monitoring, or work programs to keep my clients out of jail. Depending on a conviction or plea agreement, all individuals in a DUI arrest or DUI accident will face 3, 6, or 9-month alcohol classes.
