MY PRACTICE AREAS

DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE (DUI)

Few offenses in America’s criminal justice process call for greater attorney expertise than cases involving driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. DUI cases are especially complex because they require defense counsel to understand scientific, as well as legal processes.


The legal issues are wide-ranging, involving search and seizure, due process, illegal interrogation, denial of counsel, and evidentiary issues.

These legal issues intersect in a DUI case with scientific areas of expertise, such as anatomy, biology, chemistry, physiology, and toxicology, as well as pseudo-scientific areas such as field sobriety testing.


DUI defense counsel must also have a working understanding of the operation of breath test equipment, hospital testing equipment, and instruments utilized by forensic laboratories in the process of testing for intoxicants.

Felony charges carry serious penalties and often mean prison sentences. Having a knowledgeable attorney and strong defense is crucial. I provide comprehensive legal strategies to defend against these potentially life-altering charges.


Misdemeanor charges, while less severe than felonies, can still have significant consequences and far-reaching negative impacts on your life and job.


In either case, I offer dedicated legal representation to ensure your rights are protected and to minimize the impact of these charges on your life.
