Defense Against DUI and Drug Charges
If you are facing charges for drug crimes or drunk driving, you may think you can defend yourself or that you do not need an attorney. However, there is a lot an experienced attorney can help you with in these situations. Whether you were arrested for possession of drugs, selling drugs or driving under the influence, it is important to find a lawyer who can give you the legal protection you need.
Prosecutors know what they are looking for in these cases, and they have experience getting quick guilty verdicts. In order to protect yourself, your criminal record and your rights, you should find someone who has as much experience as the other side has.

Challenging the Legality of the Arrest
If you are pulled over for driving under the influence (DUI) and you think you are drunk, you may refuse to take the blood alcohol test. There is a penalty for refusing the test, but in many cases it is less severe than would be the case if the test result led to a DUI conviction.
When we defend clients who took the blood alcohol test, we challenge the legality of the arrest:
- Did the officer have probable cause to stop the person in the first place?
- Was the breath test properly administered?
- Was the blood test properly administered?
In some situations we are able to have cases thrown out if the police officer did not follow proper procedure. The sooner you contact an experienced criminal defense lawyer, the sooner your rights will be protected.
