DUI Defense
Representation for individuals charged with driving under the influence.
DUI defense covers cases where a client is charged with operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. These cases often involve two parallel proceedings — a criminal case and an administrative license matter — and firms handling DUI defense typically scrutinize the traffic stop, field sobriety testing, and chemical testing procedures for legal or procedural weaknesses.

DUI Defense — Frequently Asked Questions
Can a DUI charge be reduced or dismissed?
It depends on the circumstances, including how the stop and testing were conducted. An attorney can evaluate whether evidence was gathered lawfully and whether grounds exist to challenge or reduce the charge.
Will I lose my license after a DUI arrest?
Many states impose an automatic administrative license suspension after a DUI arrest, separate from the criminal case. An attorney can advise on deadlines to request a hearing to contest the suspension.
