PRO TIPS
Stay Calm During the Stop
Remain polite and avoid volunteering extra information. Only provide required documents to the officer. Contact an attorney as soon as possible afterward.
Request the DMV Hearing Early
You typically have a limited window to request a hearing. Missing this deadline can mean automatic suspension. Acting quickly preserves your options.
Document Everything You Remember
Write down details about the stop while they’re fresh. Note times, locations, and officer statements. This information can support your defense later.
Choosing the Right Defense Approach
When Full Representation Helps:
Repeat Offenses
Prior convictions increase penalties significantly. A thorough defense strategy is often necessary to address enhanced charges. Careful case review can help identify available options.
Injury or Aggravating Factors
Cases involving injury or high BAC levels carry harsher consequences. These situations often require detailed evidence review. Full representation helps address every element of the charge.
When a Focused Approach Works:
First-Time, Low-BAC Cases
Some first offenses involve straightforward facts. A focused strategy may resolve the matter efficiently. This can reduce time and cost for the client.
DMV Hearing Only
Some clients only need help with the license suspension hearing. This narrower scope addresses a specific administrative concern. It can still preserve important driving privileges.
Common DUI Situations We Handle
Traffic Stop Arrests
