Arrested for DUI?
Finding the right attorney can be difficult, particularly in relation to DUI charges. An attorney who practices criminal defense may seem a logical choice, but in reality it is far more beneficial to work with a lawyer who has specific experience in and a strong focus on drunk driving-related charges. This is a particular field that requires a complete understanding of field sobriety tests, breathalyzer tests, blood tests, and the various other issues unique to DUI cases.

Because each case is different, we highly recommend discussing your particular case with a licensed attorney who can offer you valuable insight into the matter. Depending on the circumstances surrounding your DUI arrest and charges, an attorney may offer you different advice in regard to retaining legal counsel at this point, challenging your charges and in general addressing this matter. Discussing this matter with an attorney can also bring you much-needed peace of mind in making the right decisions about your case.

In the wake of a breath test that showed a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit or allegedly failed field sobriety tests, it’s easy to think that you have no chance of avoiding a conviction and the many penalties this may bring.
