Do you need Legal Assistance with your DUI?

Being accused of a crime can be a frightening experience, and we stand ready to assist you in your time of need.

What you need to know about DUI:

A DUI person can be lawfully convicted of DUI even if there is no breath test or the breath test result is below a .08% alcohol content. In fact, a person can be lawfully convicted of DUI even if he or she is not actually driving when the police arrive. Your rights may be affected by the facts of your case. An experienced attorney can be your best source of information regarding your rights.

The Law states ...

... that a DUI is not just a traffic infraction, it is a crime. A first offense of DUI can result in as much as six months in jail, as well as fines, probation, a driver’s license suspension, and even the impoundment of your car. Your license to drive may be suspended before you even go to court.

Your rights are:

If your driver’s license was suspended when you were arrested, you have a right to a hearing to determine if that suspension was valid - but you must act to preserve that right. You have a right to police reports, videos and information about the breath test equipment. You have the right to a trial by a jury - ordinary citizens - like you - to test the facts alleged by the police. Your rights are guaranteed by law...

How we handle it:

As lawyers, it is our responsibility to protect your rights and see to it that all of the facts are investigated and presented to the court. We will represent you in all phases of your cases, from the administrative hearing through the trial if necessary. We will obtain police reports, video tapes and other information held by the State to assist in investigating the charge.
