We Strive for Excellence in Every Case
We have registered favorable results in various DUI cases involving alcohol and drugs. Regardless of how high the BAC is or how incriminating the evidence is, we carefully examine every case to determine any procedural and substantive weaknesses and then effectively submit these weaknesses to obtain a favorable resolution. We use our creativity, negotiation skills, and steadfastness to achieve desirable results for clients.
Prosecution for DUI usually involves an intimidating and tedious process for the defendant. Conversant with the DUI process, we provide hands-on legal representation at every step of the proceedings. We constantly inform our clients of the developments in their cases and rigorously prepare them for all the steps in the DUI process and court-ordered obligations.
Every drunk-driving case has its substantive and procedural challenges. We approach each challenge with thoroughness and creativity that strengthen our position as advocates and eventually produce optimum results. In all DUI cases, progress toward optimal results is only possible if the lawyer is a step ahead of the prosecutor. Consequently, we plan strategically and mount a defense right from the inception of the DUI case.
Although we apply the same thoroughness and steadfastness to all of our cases, we understand that, as DUI defense lawyers, we must tailor our approach to the specific case. Drunk-driving cases generally fall into four categories:
- Those requiring a procedural defense.
- Those requiring a factual defense.
- Those requiring a mitigating factors defense.
- Those requiring mitigating, factual, and procedural defenses.
The factor distinguishing these cases is simple: the prosecution's evidence is indisputable and overwhelming in certain cases.
Our job is to challenge the evidence on procedural grounds. That is, contesting the basis on which our client was stopped and the general legality of their arrest. We will also identify and present mitigating factors, like the defendant having no criminal record, their acceptance of criminal liability, and their participation in rehabilitative and remedial courses that would assist in reducing the charges or warranting lenient consequences.
In other situations, the prosecution's evidence is questionable and disputable. For example, if the defendant experienced rising blood alcohol levels when they took the breathalyzer test. In a few other cases, mitigating, factual, and procedural defenses exist. For example, where the DUI stop was illegal, the defendant has no criminal record, has an extensive history of contributing to the community, and has GERD, which caused their BAC to be falsely above the stipulated legal limit.
Regardless of the category under which your DUI case falls, we do not take lightly the case facts the prosecution presents. We conduct independent investigations of the evidence against you, thoroughly exploring any procedural, substantive, and mitigating defenses that apply to your case.
