Handling the Criminal Charge
Prosecutors take DUI/DWI charges seriously. They have the resources and time to pursue these cases aggressively. That is why you need someone on your side working to protect you.
As your legal team, we will:
- Listen to your story
- Thoroughly investigate the charge against you
- Build a case tailored to your situation
If you were wrongly accused of drunk driving, we will present the facts and fight the charge in court, calling on our extensive litigation experience. If you made an error in judgment, we will refer you to the help you need, showing the court that you are not a danger to society. Either way, we will guide you through the legal process. You will not face the charges alone.
Managing the Administrative Charge
When you are arrested for DUI/DWI, two cases are set in motion: a criminal case and an administrative one. While the criminal case considers the matter in court, the administrative case involves the suspension of your license. If you fail to request an administrative hearing with the Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) within 10 days of your arrest, you risk automatic suspension.
As your legal team, we will handle both the administrative and criminal portions of your DUI/DWI charge.
