Most importantly, when we talk I'll explain to you why your situation may not be hopeless. Here's what I mean.
I'll Help You Keep Your License and Your Freedom
To begin with, there's a good chance we can help. Did you know that there are at least 20 challenges that can be made to the charges you’re facing? I'll raise the ones that apply to your case to make your DUI defense is as strong as possible.
My goal is to get you off, keep your record clean, and prevent you from losing your freedom and your license to drive. Our law practice is based on the fundamental constitutional belief that you’ve been arrested when you shouldn't have been.
At the very least, I'll make sure that you're being treated fairly.
When you retain The DUI Guys, you'll get expert legal help from an attorney who knows how to guide your DUI case through the complexities of the legal system. Again, DUI defense is what we do; it’s ALL we do.
You can be confident that you’ll be treated fairly by the judicial system. Why? Because we will insist that:
- The District Attorney provide us with the name and address of anyone he plans to call as a witness, as well as copies of every written or recorded statements of their testimony. This will allow us to prepare the kind of questions that can weaken the state's case against you.
- The DA provide us with any information or material he/she has which would show that you are not guilty of the charges against you, or may help you get a lighter sentence.
- We receive all copies of records showing that the equipment used for tests was functioning properly, and that the person giving the tests was properly certified.
- We have proof that you were advised of all of your rights. If you weren't, the DA's case may be weakened
As you can see, what looks simple gets pretty complex. As your attorney, I will look into all of these things for you so we can present the strongest possible case.
Here's How I'll Protect Your Rights
The offices of the District Attorney and City Attorney prosecute these types of cases all day. The Prosecutors know—and are willing to use against you—all of the fine legal points available to them.
The law says that the Prosecutor only needs to prove that, after drinking, you were not able to drive your car safely, or that your blood alcohol exceeded a certain limit. That sounds pretty cut and dried, but it's not quite that simple.
You see, if challenged, the Prosecution has to show:
- that the arresting officer made the arrest legally,
- that you were properly advised of your rights,
- that the equipment used to test you was working accurately,
- that the person operating that equipment was certified to operate it.
If the Prosecution gets information that could prove you are innocent, an alert attorney can also make him/her give you that information.
This is where our DUI experience can make a big difference.
I know how and where to make the proper motions which force the Prosecution to prove that all the steps used in your arrest were properly followed. If they weren't, their case is weakened or possibly crushed.
I can't promise you total success. Each case is unique. Maybe the judge assigned to your case is “tough” on drunk-driving cases or has a personal bias against such cases due to a bad personal experience; perhaps they are more skeptical of the Prosecution and will let a savvy Defense attorney thoroughly attack the prosecutions case, or perhaps they have not bought into the politics that motivate DUI laws is more understanding and lenient. Perhaps there are things that are distinctive or special about your case. All things considered, I am confident you'll find us to be knowledgeable, informed, passionate, skilled, and qualified to help you protect and defend your rights.
