DUI defense · Client guide
A DUI defense begins with the stop and the evidence
A DUI charge can involve separate criminal-court and driver’s-license consequences. The traffic stop, field observations, testing procedures, recordings, and timing all require careful review.
What to do after a DUI arrest
Keep all paperwork, note upcoming court or license deadlines, and avoid discussing the facts publicly. A prompt review can help distinguish the criminal case from any administrative license issue.
Evidence that may require review
- Reason for the traffic stop and officer observations
- Dash-camera, body-camera, and booking-room recordings
- Field sobriety and breath or blood testing procedures
- Maintenance, certification, and chain-of-custody records
What may be at stake
Potential consequences may include license restrictions, fines, insurance effects, employment concerns, and incarceration depending on the charge and record.
Preparing a focused response
Defense strategy depends on the evidence, procedures used, prior history, and available legal issues. No single approach fits every case.
