Our Process
1st - We'll set up a FREE OFFICE VISIT where your case is reviewed thoroughly. One of our lawyers will spend about an hour with you reviewing the details of your case and attempting to identify any legal issues that can be raised to make your case more defensible. During that meeting we will also outline the legal process and address any additional questions you may have. Of course, if you are out-of-state
one of the lawyers will set aside the time necessary to conduct this consultation by Telephone or 
2nd - FREE 10 Day Letter - At this meeting, you will be advised of your driving status and of the immediate steps that need to be taken to protect your driving privileges. In most cases your driver's license has already been suspended and a written request for a hearing must be delivered to the Department of Driver Services within TEN DAYS of your arrest. This is not something you should try to send yourself. We will be happy to assist you in sending this letter for FREE.
3rd - If you decide to retain our law firm to defend your DUI case, we immediately launch an investigation into the facts. You are asked to complete a short questionnaire to supplement the facts discussed at the initial consultation. We then begin gathering the necessary information from the police agency or other public information sources. Once the investigation is complete, your file is examined by the lawyer. It is import for your lawyer to recognize legal issues; analyze the judge, prosecutor, and police officers in the case, and begin to identify a theme for the overall defense. Generally an administrative hearing has been scheduled by this time, so we also develop a specific strategy for that stage of the case.
4th - As the case progresses, you will receive a written notice from our support staff of every court appearance in your case. In most cases, the notice will inform you that your appearance in court is not necessary, but if you are required to be there, you will have plenty of time to discuss your role, if any, with your lawyer ahead of time. Surprisingly, a successful defense of a DUI case can often take more than a year. We have cases that are two or more years old and still haven't been resolved. There may be periods of time when nothing can be done with your case but simply wait! Remember, you're always innocent until proven guilty!
5th - Once your case is closed, we will send you a letter clearly describing the final disposition, along with any remaining conditions you are obligated to complete.
