Keep Your Driving Privileges

The loss of driving privileges is something many people take for granted until they risk losing it. Our attorneys handle driver's license suspension hearings. We can contest the administrative suspension of your driver's license through a formal review hearing. We may be able to help you obtain a driver's license that allows you to travel to work and school on a limited basis.

We may be able to file motions to suppress evidence based on reasonable suspicion for the stop and probable cause for the arrest depending on the facts of your case. We can identify any inconsistencies  in the traffic stop, spot illegal methods used by law enforcement, and explore all options for having the case dismissed or charges reduced. In addition to DUI defense, we handle very serious cases involving vehicular manslaughter.
