Our DWI Defense Practice
We handle all matters related to the defense of a drunk driving charge, from the criminal proceeding to the administrative hearing on driver's license suspension. Our goal in the criminal proceeding will always be the reduction or dismissal of all charges against you. In addition, we will try to keep you from losing your driving privileges or seek conditional driving rights until the final disposition of your case.
Because we understand from experience that every DWI case is unique, we will conduct a thorough investigation of the facts, evidence and circumstances surrounding your arrest. We will carefully review the traffic stop to determine whether the arresting officer had probable cause to pull you over. We will examine the police report and question witnesses to clarify the chain of events, including whether you were properly advised of your rights before any questioning by law enforcement officials. We will also look at field sobriety and breathalyzer tests to clarify that they were correctly administered. We will also seek to challenge the credibility of the police officer, if appropriate. When there are irregularities, we will seek the exclusion of evidence or the dismissal of charges.
