Although not required by law, it is imperative that you hire an attorney to defend you if you find yourself charged with a DUI.

In order for a traffic stop to be valid, the police must be able to show that you broke at least one traffic law or that they had some other logical reason for stopping you. Our lawyers can help determine if the traffic stop was valid or not. We also will help you by looking for any errors made by the police while conducting tests to determine whether were impaired. These tests can include field sobriety tests, breathalyzer tests, and the testing of blood samples. Our attorneys can help verify whether the testing was performed properly and according to the state’s guidelines when it comes to DUI and traffic violations, and if the testing equipment used was properly calibrated to prevent inaccurate and false readings. Our attorneys also will review other circumstances regarding your arrest, such as making sure you were read your Miranda rights and that police respected those rights.
