The Courtroom Is Our Battlefield.

DUI—Felony and Misdemeanor Operating a Vehicle While Intoxicated (OVWI)

Being accused of driving while intoxicated on alcohol or drugs is one of the most common charges that our clients face. While on the surface, it usually appears that the prosecutor has enough evidence to win every case, it is only by digging into the case that our firm can determine its strength and the possibility of winning.

Even when cases look unwinnable, we believe that each case should be thoroughly vetted because you never know what idea may turn up that could start to dismantle the prosecutor’s case. For example, our firm has successfully defended clients accused of drunk driving at jury trials, including a client who admitted on video that he was too drunk to drive. We have even successfully defended someone found behind the wheel of a vehicle who was over 5 times the legal limit. How does that happen? A lot of brainstorming with over 140 collective years of experience is a good start. Also, knowing what legal and factual arguments to make that could sway a prosecutor or jury can have a major impact. Having a reputation that your firm is willing to go to trial is also vital.

In most cases, the goal is to obtain the best plea possible. However, we never want to abandon the thought that the case can be won. It is difficult to win these cases, but having a team of lawyers with a track record of successfully defending those accused of drunk driving can make all the difference. We have lawyers dedicated to staying on top of the ever-changing laws concerning driver’s license suspensions following a DUI arrest. We will do what we can to use those laws to keep you driving, if that is possible, once you have been accused of DUI.

Having the wrong lawyer on a DUI case can result in unnecessary and long-lasting consequences. Although we can’t promise your outcome, we can tell you that by hiring the wrong lawyer, you probably won’t get the outcome you deserve.
