Why should I talk with an attorney?

The reason you are on this website is that you already aware of the need to speak with and possibly hire an experienced DUI attorney with a proven track record. It is possible that the police may have violated your rights or committed some error that could result in the charges against you being reduced or even dismissed. Therefore, it is very important that you speak with us as soon as possible after your arrest. This is why we have dedicated staff answering our telephones all day, every day.  We are open New Year's Eve at Midnight. The sooner you speak to us, the easier you will sleep that night and the sooner we can start working on your case.

Why should you even hire an attorney?

Don't and you'll guarantee the result. Defending yourself in the criminal justice system will be almost impossible and very rarely successful. Some legal commentators call drunk driving the guilty until proven innocent exception to the Constitution. Drunk driving is a complex field of law. The politics and the odds are stacked against you. The penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol and or drugs can be very severe. The penalties may include the following: a jail sentence; a substantial fine; attendance in alcohol abuse classes; suspension, revocation or restriction of your driver's license; and/or other penalties. Further, pleading guilty to a DUI will result in your insurance premiums doubling and even tripling over the next several years. Often the fines are not as financially draining as the rise in insurance costs.

A drunk driving arrest triggers two separate legal actions against you. One is the criminal case. The other is the DMV case to automatically suspend your license. Often with skilled and aggressive representation, it may be possible to have the charges dropped or reduced without the expense of trial. However, we prepare EVERY case as if it were a trial case. Obviously, not every case is a trial case. But we prepare every case that way for two reasons:

1. In case it is a situation where we are going to trial, we're ready.
2. It is the best way to insure a possible reduction or dismissal of the charges before trial.

Either way the client has been afforded quality, aggressive representation which will in turn insure the best possible result.

Remember the more experienced your attorney has with DUI cases, the better your outcome and the less chance you as the client will have a negative experience from the system.
