DUI
Challenging DUI charges is a key focus of our firm. These cases require a particular approach by an attorney who is experienced in dealing with the issues that are relevant to DUI charges alone, such as breathalyzer testing, blood testing and field sobriety tests. Understanding the ins and outs of drunk driving cases gives us an edge in criminal court and at our clients' DMV hearings as we fight to protect their driving privileges from suspension by the Department of Motor Vehicles. Though you may have been arrested after "failing" field sobriety tests and charged after "failing" a breath test or blood test, this does not necessarily mean that those tests were administered correctly or that their results should be admissible in court. There are various strategies that our team may be able to use in order to successfully challenge the evidence against you, whether it is based on a mistake by a law enforcement officer or a violation of your constitutional rights.
