Handling the Administrative and Criminal Aspects of Your DUI Case

The administrative component of a DUI case involves the Louisiana Department of Public Safety. Before your criminal case commences, the DPS can suspend your driver's license. We help you schedule a hearing before that governing body to fight for your legal ability to drive and prevent license suspension.

Managing your criminal case will involve extensive review of all the procedures followed leading up to and during your arrest. The motivation for the initial stop and the field sobriety, breath and chemical testing must be thoroughly analyzed. The arresting officer must have just cause to pull you over. Additionally, law enforcement must follow strict procedures in testing. Anything done that violated your rights will be brought to light and we will seek immediate dismissal of your DWI/DUI charges.
