A DUI arrest is one of the most terrifying experiences in a person’s life. The field sobriety tests are intimidating and the breath testing equipment may not be accurate. On top of all of this, a DUI arrest is humiliating and can result in serious consequences. After your arrest, your name, personal information and arrest record may be available to the public.

Each year, states enact stronger DUI laws and more severe drunk driving penalties. You could lose your driver's license, be placed in jail and receive substantial fines. Your car insurance rates may rise and you could end up with a criminal conviction on your record that could impact your future and your employment opportunities. Further, a DUI conviction could even seriously damage a seemingly unrelated case such as a divorce or a child custody hearing.

A DUI is a serious offense and if you have been charged you should seek legal help at once from an experienced DUI attorney. It is important to know that not every arrest results in a conviction and you should not be afraid to fight for your rights.

I am a former Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney which gives me a unique perspective on this area of the law. I specialize in DUI cases as well as serious traffic offenses. I will fight for your rights.
