Protect Your Rights After a DUI
Public service announcements warning against drunk driving are all over television shows and radio advertisements. And many people have heard horror stories about drunk drivers causing accidents or killing others. As a result, society has made pariahs of all people charged with drunk driving.
If you are facing charges for driving under the influence, the outcome of the case could haunt you for the rest of your life. If you are worried about losing your license or going to jail, an experienced attorney can help protect your rights and your license.

Why Should I Hire a Lawyer?
If you are facing a drunk driving conviction, you may be worried about what will happen next. When clients call me wondering what to expect during the legal process, I always give them an honest assessment of their situation and the consequences they may be facing.
I review all the information from the DUI arrest and evaluate the case. Because I worked as a prosecutor, I have a good understanding of what the other side is looking for, and I am able to identify weaknesses in the case. In preparing my case, I examine the police officer's actions such as:
- Did the officer have probable cause for the stop?
- Was the administration of the field sobriety test proper?
- What kind of scientific examinations were done on the blood or breath tests?
- Did the police follow proper procedures during the arrest and did they advise you of your rights?
I strive to minimize the financial impact and restrictions on your freedoms. I also handle the Administrative hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). If this hearing is not requested, it will be lost, so it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible.
