Knowledgeable DUI/DWI Attorney Protects Drivers’ Rights

Being convicted of operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated can have serious consequences, including loss of license, higher insurance costs, heavy fines and jail time. If you were stopped and charged with a DUI or DWI , I am here to help. I understand that good people can make mistakes. I have the knowledge necessary to challenge the evidence against you, and the ability to help you pursue the best possible outcome.

I will examine whether or not law enforcement followed proper protocol in regard to:

• The stop — Police must be able to demonstrate that they pulled you over based on “reasonable suspicion” that you were acting in violation of the law.
• The sobriety test — There are specific rules that police must follow when administering field sobriety tests, including when measuring blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
• The equipment — Breathalyzer machines have provided inaccurate results in the past, and their reliability can sometimes be questioned.

My firm will strive to get you the respect you deserve and the results you desire.

Advice on handling DUI stops

If you are ever pulled over by the police on suspicion of drunk driving, there are several ways you can help yourself:

• Remain calm and be polite — If you are nervous, police officers may think that you are hiding something or are intoxicated.
• Don’t allow a search without a warrant — Any evidence police find in your car can be used to support a DUI conviction.
• Take the sobriety test — Refusing to take a test may make an officer more suspicious and lead to an arrest. Refusing a test will result in suspension of your drivers license.

If you are arrested and charged with a DUI, it is wise to contact an attorney immediately.  I can start working on your case and protecting your driving privileges as soon as you enlist my services.
