Drinking and driving is a very serious matter, and if you are convicted, you could face serious penalties. It is important that you have skilled representation on your side that can help you effectively pursue your goals and desires for the outcome of your case.
Conviction of a first DUI offense in a span of ten years will carry Class A misdemeanor penalties, including up to 12 months in jail, up to $1,500 in fines, driver's license revocation for a year, and probation. Losing your license can be a very serious issue as you could be forced to rely on public transportation to get you to and from work and other important destinations, which can dramatically affect your lifestyle and schedule.
Skillful representation can help you build a strong defense of your case to argue in court as you pursue a favorable outcome. Our legal team can provide you with this high-quality representation and much more. We work up front to build a strong case, while working tirelessly behind the scenes to uncover flaws with the prosecution's case, questionable issues with evidence, and other matters in order to pursue a dismissal of your case.
An added element that we bring to courtroom litigation is that we utilize science and other know-how in order to control the room in our favor. There is no evidence brought forth in a DUI case that is 100% flawless, and we capitalize on this fact.
