EXPERIENCE IN DUI CASES COUNTS!
We have handled over 8000 cases over the last 40 years and understand the legal, scientific and factual issues that are present in these cases. We know how to challenge deficiencies in police administration of field sobriety tests to effectively undermine police opinions of sobriety. We know how to challenge the accuracy, precision and reliability of breath testing and blood testing. We have the experience necessary to expose police misconduct and know how to challenge unlawful police detentions and arrests.
While knowledge of the law and science is critical to defending DUI charges, knowledge of the system is essential. Criminal defense lawyers are very different from most other lawyers because we deal with the same judges and prosecutors all the time. A lawyer’s reputation in the Courthouse is his greatest asset. Being respected and trusted as a professional by judges and prosecutors enhances an attorney’s ability to advocate on behalf of his client. Years of experience and knowledge of the people who make up the court system is an invaluable asset that can be utilized in navigating a client’s case through court.
CLIENT CENTRIC DUI DEFENSE FIRM
We also understand the unique and special needs of our individual clients. They come first, they are foremost! It is the culture of our firm to be proactive to assure that the clients particular needs are addressed in any resolution of their case’ whether by negotiations or litigation. We understand that the direct and indirect consequences of a DUI conviction have long standing and profound effects upon our client’s lives. We will use all of our knowledge and talents to review your case and try to find a way to win! That is our goal. That is our culture. But, let’s be honest, that doesn’t happen in every case. Sometimes you win by not losing. Sometimes the best resolution is a compromise where you balance the risks and the rewards. Sometimes a DUI charge is a symptom of a greater problem that needs to be addressed and the solution to that bigger problem can be the solution to the legal problem. This is where (40) years of experience and 8000 cases matters! Knowing how to help and when to help.
