DUI Defense that protects your license, record, and future
If you’re facing a DUI/DWAI charge, time matters. We move quickly to address both the criminal case and the DMV process, challenge the traffic stop and testing, and protect your ability to drive for work and family. Our team treats your case with urgency and clarity—so you know what to do today, what happens next, and how we’ll fight for the best outcome available.
- Act fast: strict DMV and court deadlines can impact your driving privileges.
- We scrutinize the stop, probable cause, and the administration of field sobriety, breath, and blood tests.
- Clear game plan: what to say (and not say), hearing options, diversion/plea possibilities, and trial readiness.
- Practical support: guidance for work permits/conditional licenses and reinstatement steps where available.
What to expect: Criminal court and DMV tracks
DUI matters typically involve two tracks: the criminal case in court and an administrative license action at the DMV. Each track has different deadlines, standards, and potential outcomes. We map both from day one and keep you informed with clear timelines.
Court track
- Arraignment and early rights advisements
- Discovery: police reports, bodycam, maintenance logs
- Motions to suppress or limit evidence where appropriate
- Negotiations, diversion/plea assessment, or trial preparation
DMV/administrative track
- Time-sensitive hearing requests to contest license actions
- Strategy for restricted/conditional driving (where available)
- Compliance steps for reinstatement after suspension
Your timeline and next steps
We set a personalized schedule covering hearings, motion deadlines, and compliance tasks. You’ll know exactly what to do, when to do it, and what we’re handling behind the scenes.
Our defense approach: precise, proactive, and practical
- Stop and probable cause: analyze the basis for the stop, detention length, and instructions given.
- Testing integrity: inspect field tests and device records (calibration, maintenance, operator certification, chain of custody).
- Evidence completeness: compare reports with bodycam, dispatch logs, and witness statements.
- Strategy options: pursue dismissal, reduction, diversion (where available), or trial, aligned with your goals.
- License protection: timely hearing requests and guidance for restricted driving or reinstatement steps.

Key evidence we investigate (and why it matters)
Small details can tilt the outcome of a DUI case. We look beyond the report to verify whether the state can meet its burden and whether administrative actions are warranted.
Bodycam and dashcam video
Confirms instructions, roadside conditions, and performance on field tests—often the best check on written narratives.
Device logs and lab records
Calibration, maintenance, and operator credentials for breath devices; chain of custody and method validation for blood tests.
Basis for the stop
Lane position, speed, equipment issues, and driving pattern. If the stop falls short, key evidence can be excluded.
Medical and environmental factors
Fatigue, injury, footwear, lighting, and road conditions can explain “clues” on field tests unrelated to impairment.
Administrative paperwork
Notices, advisements, and test selection/consent documents are checked for completeness and compliance.
Fees and engagement—clear terms before we begin
We provide written engagement terms that outline scope, strategy steps, and fees. Many DUI matters can be handled with predictable flat-fee or staged-fee arrangements; complex cases and trials may use hourly or hybrid models. No surprises—just straight talk about options and cost.
- Written scope letter with milestones and deliverables
- Transparent, predictable fee structures where appropriate
- Regular updates, including outcome scenarios for court and DMV tracks
