DUI CASES

I will meet with you in my office or by phone, without charge, and with absolutely no obligation, to review your case. Here is a partial listing of some of the questions and issues that we will discuss:

  • What will happen to me in Court? Should I plead guilty or not guilty?
  • What will be my punishment if I plead or am found guilty?
  • Can I do anything about the DMV license suspension? Should I request a DMV hearing? Call me before requesting hearing! (See note below).
  • Do I need a lawyer?
  • What are my options for legal representation?
  • Was the chemical test (blood, breath or urine) accurate?
  • What if I didn't take a chemical test?
  • What was my true Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC)?
  • Did the officer have probable cause to detain and/or arrest me?
  • Are there any defenses to my case?
  • Did the law enforcement officer follow the correct procedures?
  • Were any of my rights violated?

NOTE: DMV HEARING MUST BE REQUESTED WITHIN 10 DAYS OF YOUR ARREST.
