Why Do I Defend People Arrested For DUI?
People arrested for DUI come from all walks of life and all ages. I am helping out professionals, Men and Women, people who are Teachers, Lawyers, Doctors, Police officers, everyone. Not usually “hardened criminals”. Only good people, people who really need help. It’s a complex situation and being able to help good people is rewarding to me. It’s one of the reasons I focus on DUI cases exclusively.

Also, DUI cases are extremely complex. They involve the science of breath and blood tests, how alcohol and drugs interact with the human body, issues of absorption and elimination of alcohol and drugs from human body. We are dealing with driver’s license issues, driver’s license suspensions, trying to keep people driving, trying to keep people working, trying to keep people from not losing their jobs. It takes a lot of skill, knowledge and dedication to defend these cases.
