An arrest for DUI can have significant and far-reaching consequences. Some of these consequences can occur unless action is taken immediately (within ten (10) days of your arrest). In addition to the criminal case, the DHSMV will take action against your driver’s license. A DUI consists of a complicated series of circumstances including the traffic stop, field sobriety exercises, breath/urine/or blood testing, and verbal statements. Representation by a lawyer is crucial during this process to insure that your rights are protected. In addition, we represent clients who have been charged with any criminal traffic offense. Some of these offenses can carry significant jail sentences and long term driver’s license suspensions, so it is important to obtain adequate legal representation.
