This Isn't a Traffic Ticket. This Is a Criminal Charge.
- The 30-Day MVD Clock
- Your driver’s license will be automatically suspended in 30 days unless we formally request a hearing to challenge it. This is our first priority.
- Forensic Evidence Challenge
- We forensically review the breathalyzer (BAC) calibration logs, the blood draw procedures, and the officer’s observations. A single error can get key evidence thrown out.
- Jail Avoidance Strategies
- Even for a first-time offense, jail time is a possibility. We build mitigation packages and negotiate for alternatives like house arrest, probation, or treatment.
- Financial Damage Control
- A DUI conviction costs thousands in fines, fees, and increased insurance. We fight to minimize the total financial impact on your life.
