If you are facing a driving under the influence charge, as your  DUI Defense Lawyer we assert any and all defense applicable on your behalf and we do so aggressively.

There a number of ways to challenge a DUI charge. First, we investigate to see if the stop was even legal. The fourth amendment of the Constitution prohibits unreasonable searches and seizures and a traffic stop is considered a seizure. As your attorney, we would investigate to see if the police officer who stopped you at the time of your arrest had a reasonable suspicion to make the stop.

If we can argue this defense on your behalf, your case will likely get dismissed.

Another way to challenge a DUI is by questioning the breathalyzer test. Breathalyzer devices are not always accurate and our job as your DUI Attorney is to do our research and find out if the devices have been properly calibrated and maintained.

Inaccurate results will also have your case likely dismissed.

Our primary goal is to have your case dismissed. We want to protect your freedom, your rights, your license, and your reputation. We guarantee our dedication, our competence, and our persistence.
