DUI
Driving Under the Influence
If you've been arrested or charged with driving under the influence, it's crucial to hire an experienced and effective defense attorney.
I’ve handled hundreds of DUI cases and have an in-depth understanding of the complex law surrounding DUIs as it relates to criminal proceedings and your license status with the DMV. I am well-versed in the specific legal procedures, potential defenses, and loopholes relevant to DUI cases.
I also have expertise in drug and alcohol-related science honed through prior collaboration with defense experts and cross-examination of forensic toxicologists. This extensive experience allows me to thoroughly evaluate your case, provide a realistic assessment of what to expect, and effectively guide you through the legal system, whether we pursue trial or a plea bargain.
I am committed to putting you in the best possible position to retain your driving privileges. Losing your license can significantly impact your family, job, and overall well-being. Recognizing the importance of your ability to drive, I will help you navigate the DMV bureaucracy associated with your DUI case. Whether it's through appropriate classes, insurance, or even implementing a car breathalyzer, I can assist you in preserving your driving capabilities.
DUI convictions carry severe penalties, such as substantial fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even potential jail time. I possess a deep understanding of these cases and have the skills to negotiate with prosecutors and judges, fighting for reduced charges or lesser penalties to minimize the impact on your personal and professional life.
As a proven trial advocate, I am unafraid to take your case to trial if required. Ultimately, a conviction can only occur if 12 jurors are convinced, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you were impaired by alcohol or drugs or had a concentration of .08 percent or more of alcohol in your breath or blood. Not all trial lawyers are equal, and as an experienced former public defender with a track record of winning acquittals for my clients, I know how to effectively present your case to a jury.
