We know how prosecutors evaluate impaired driving cases, and we use that experience to test the evidence, identify procedural issues, and protect your options.
Did the officer have reasonable suspicion to pull you over in the first place? If the initial stop was unlawful, all evidence gathered afterward may be suppressed.
Did the officer have probable cause to arrest you? We scrutinize the officer's report and body-cam footage for inconsistencies and exaggerated claims.
We examine weather conditions, lighting, uneven surfaces, footwear, and the officer's specific training in administering the standardized tests.
We verify the mandatory 15-minute observation period, the operator's permit, and the calibration logs for the specific breathalyzer device used.
If blood was drawn, we challenge the warrant or consent, examine the chain of custody, and scrutinize lab procedures and refrigeration.
We protect you against unlawful search and seizure, Miranda rights violations, and coerced statements or warrantless blood draws.

The firm handles criminal defense, substance-related charges, and expungements. We don't juggle a broad mix of unrelated civil matters.

To convict you of Driving While Impaired, the state generally has to prove that the following was true:
You are arrested, your license is confiscated, and you are issued an affidavit.
You have precisely 30 days to request an administrative hearing or enroll in IDAP to save your license.
Your first court appearance where formal charges are read and a plea is entered (usually "Not Guilty").
We obtain police reports, dash-cam, and body-cam video, and thoroughly investigate the state's evidence.
We file motions to suppress bad evidence and negotiate with the prosecutor for dismissal or reduction.
Your case is resolved either by trial, an evidentiary hearing, or an agreed plea deal (like a deferred sentence).
We ask what happened, where the arrest occurred, and gather the immediate facts.
We check urgent deadlines immediately, specifically the 30-day license/IDAP window.
We explain possible next steps in plain English, with no legal jargon.
