DUI Defense
A DUI charge can create immediate concerns about driving privileges, employment, court appearances, release conditions, and a criminal record. The defense should begin with a careful review of the stop, observations, testing, statements, video, and the procedures used in the investigation.
Issues We Review
- Reason for the traffic stop or police contact
- Field sobriety testing and officer observations
- Breath, blood, or other chemical testing
- Body-camera, dash-camera, and dispatch evidence
- Statements and constitutional issues

Why Early Advice Matters
DUI cases can involve separate criminal and administrative licensing issues with different procedures and deadlines. Speaking with a defense lawyer promptly can help you understand what must be addressed and preserve available options.
