Common Questions
Do I have to deal with the DMV separately from court?
Often, yes. A DUI arrest can start both a criminal court case and a separate DMV action on your license. We handle both. Contact us quickly after an arrest so deadlines are not missed.
Can a DUI be beaten?
Every case is different. We review the legality of the stop, how the chemical tests were done, and how the evidence was handled. Those issues can lead to reductions, dismissals or acquittals.
Should I plead guilty at my first court date?
Talk to a defense attorney before you enter any plea. Once you understand the evidence and your options, you can make an informed decision.
