We FIGHT Drunk Driving Charges

Drunk Driving cases on among the most complex crimes to defend. Deep knowledge of criminal law and procedure are required. This is the kind of experience that is not learned overnight. It often takes a new lawyer years to understand this most complex types of cases. The District Attorney spends lots of money to send drunk drivers to jail on DUI charges.

A DUI can have far-reaching consequences on your reputation, your family life, your job and your finances. Arrests and convictions will always be part of the public record, which will turn up on your background checks and may even appear in media reports, if you case is noteworthy or you are well known.

A Drunk Driving conviction could seriously impact your career and earnings, even getting your driver’s license suspended or getting you fired, especially if you hold a civil service job, professional license or drive for a living.

When we negotiate with the District Attorney on your behalf, you can count on us to stand firm until we are confident we have gotten the best possible results for you.
