Being charged with DUI is a frightening experience. For most people, a DUI is their one and only experience within a criminal justice system. DUIcharges can have lasting consequences if you do not take action to defend yourself. If you call us immediately after being arrested for DUI, we may also be able to fight the DMV suspension. This hearing is an added bonus to hiring our firm and is at no additional cost.

Not only will our attorneys advocate for you at the DMV hearing, but we can effectively defend against DUI charges.

Some common defense tactics can include challenging:

  • the traffic stop did the police have a lawful reason to pull you over?
  • the validity of the blood alcohol results was the Breathalyzer properly calibrated and maintained?
  • the officer’s training was the officer properly trained in field sobriety testing and operating the breath machine?
  • the timing of driving did your blood alcohol increase after you stopped driving?

Even if your case does not go all the way to a jury trial, there are ways to resolve the case in your favor.

Some of these resolutions can include:

  • pre-charging negotiations explaining your story to the prosecutor before they file charges
  • reduction of chargesfighting hard to make your mitigating circumstances known
  • alternatives to jail sentences keeping you out of custody so you can keep your job and support your family
  • minimizing consequences working hard to proactively address custody time, probation terms, licensing, and immigration consequences
