Defending Against Multiple DUI Charges

A multiple DUI conviction can have a significant impact on your life. You may face long-term or even permanent loss of your driving privileges, making it difficult to get to work, school, or other important places. You may also be unable to afford the fines and other costs of a conviction. Additionally, the penalties for a multiple DUI conviction can be severe, including lengthy jail or prison sentences.

Remember, you are innocent until proven guilty. Prosecutors have the burden of proving that you drove under the influence beyond a reasonable doubt. They must also prove that any traffic stop or arrest was legally justified.

If the police or prosecutors violated your rights, we will fight to have any illegally obtained evidence thrown out. Our team will work tirelessly to achieve the best possible outcome in your case.
