Traffic Violations DUI/DWI

NOT JUST A TRAFFIC TICKET

The majority of people do not realize that most serious traffic violations are actually criminal offenses. In some cases, what a driver thought was just a traffic ticket can turn out to have lasting effects on his or her personal freedom . Many traffic offenses can lead to serious punishment, such as jail time, in addition to substantial monetary fines.

When legal problems resulting from the operation of a vehicle arise, your driving privileges, liberty, and welfare are best placed in my hands. If you have been charged with any type of driving violation, from speeding to reckless driving, you need the representation of a lawyer who is experienced in handling traffic violations. I have successfully defended hundreds of traffic violations, and I can help you successfully negotiate the criminal justice system. I provide the experienced representation you need to protect your freedom when you receive a traffic violation such as:

• Reckless Driving
• Speeding
• Driving While License Suspended or Revoked

RECKLESS DRIVING

If you have received a Reckless Driving, citation contact me immediately. What you may have thought was a simple speeding ticket might involve your liberty, ability to drive in this state and your home state, and your pocket book. I have defended hundreds of these cases and I am ready to help guide you through this serious traffic matter.

DUI / DWI or DRUNK DRIVING

For most people, driving a vehicle is a necessary freedom. My goal is to protect your right to drive. Public perception categorizes people charged with drunk driving as criminals, even before they have been convicted of any crime. Being arrested for drunk driving, driving under the influence (DUI), or driving while intoxicated (DWI) can be a stressful experience. Penalties may include suspension or loss of license, increased insurance rates, jail or prison time, probation, serious fines, and a permanent criminal record.

In defending against a DWI, DUI, or drunk driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. I have close to 20 years of experience as a criminal defense attorney and I have successfully represented hundreds of people who have been charged with drunk driving. An experienced criminal defense attorney can make a great difference in the outcome of your case. Hiring a good lawyer is the first step towards regaining control of your life. Please contact me today to see how I can assist you with your case.
