DUI Defense
Your license, your livelihood, and your record — and a Department of Licensing deadline that runs whether or not you have a lawyer.
Overview
DUI Defense
A DUI arrest starts two separate cases. One is criminal, in district or municipal court. The other is administrative, at the Department of Licensing, and it moves on its own schedule with its own deadline. Missing it costs you your license regardless of what happens in court.
We handle both. The DOL hearing is also the first real look at the State’s evidence, and what we develop there frequently drives the criminal case.

Details
Where DUI Cases Break Down
- The reason for the stop — and whether it holds up
- The fifteen-minute observation period and how it was documented
- Breath-test instrument certification and quality assurance records
- Blood draw procedure, preservative, and storage issues
- Field sobriety test administration against NHTSA standards
- Implied consent warnings — content, timing, and language
- Rising blood alcohol and time-of-driving proof
- Prior offenses and how they affect mandatory minimums
Ignition interlock, deferred prosecution, license reinstatement, SR-22, employment consequences — we walk you through all of it before you make a decision, not after.
