Most people are concerned with protecting their driver’s licenses and avoiding jail when they have been charged with DUI. What they should also be concerned with is aggressively fighting the charges from the very beginning to ensure that any future drunk driving arrests are not considered a second offense. The penalties for successive DUIs escalate dramatically with extensive jail time and driver’s license revocations. Only by fighting the charge now can you prevent having to face those escalated penalties in the future.
Working To Protect Our Clients
We begin working immediately to build the defenses our clients need. We examine all elements of your case to determine the most effective means of helping you secure the best possible resolution. From examining the training the arresting officer had on conducting field sobriety tests to ensuring that all chemical tests were properly conducted, we look at every possible means of attacking the case against you.
We are by our client’s side every step of the way — bond hearings, preliminary hearings and every stage of the judicial process, including sentencing if that is unavoidable. We understand how to minimize the impact of sentencing to help our clients get back to their lives as soon as possible. Our goal is to make any sentence as minimal as possible.

The penalties for traffic violations have recently become more severe. People may be facing consequences that they will not believe are a possibility for something they consider as simple as a traffic ticket. For example:
- If you are ticketed for driving more than 35 miles per hour over the speed limit, you will be facing up to 364 days in jail for aggravated class A misdemeanor speeding.
- If a driver under 21 years of age receives two tickets within a two-year period, he or she will face a suspension of his or her driving privileges and being dropped from his or her insurance.
Such increased penalties mean that the smartest choice you can make is to fight your traffic violations. Winning your case or having the violation reduced is the best way to ensure that you are able to avoid these difficult penalties.
The Penalties For Traffic Violations Are Too Severe To Not Fight
In reality, traffic violations have always carried steeper consequences than most people realize. As traffic violations are cumulative toward your driver’s license, you will face ever-increasing penalties as well as insurance costs that you will have to deal with for years. Also, with each violation you get closer to having your driving privileges suspended. The only way to prevent those outcomes is to fight every traffic violation as you face them.

Were Your Fourth Amendment Rights Violated?
Everyone has a constitutional right to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures. The practical effect of this right is that the police need to follow certain protocols when they are conducting a search or when they are taking your property as evidence. If the police fail to fully respect your Fourth Amendment rights, any evidence gathered may not be able to be presented in court. As drug cases rely heavily on physical evidence, any violation of your Fourth Amendment rights may be fatal to the case against you.
