Proven Fairfax, Virginia, Area DUI Defense Attorney
DUI defense is a major part of my law practice, and I have handled hundreds of cases over the past decade. I understand that an arrest can happen to almost anyone who ever drinks and then drives. Please contact me for experienced legal counsel and aggressive representation that could make a real difference in your future.
Building Your Constitutional, Statutory or Scientific Defense
As your DUI defense lawyer, I will need to know all facts about the time preceding your arrest, the traffic stop and what happened while you were dealing with police. Having built defense cases for so many people across Northern Virginia, I know what to ask and what to look for. I am experienced in three distinct lines of DUI defense:
- Constitutional - Based on whether police violated your rights in any way. The most common constitutional defenses are that the police did not have reasonable suspicion to pull over your vehicle or probable cause to place you under arrest.
- Statutory - Based on whether our laws were obeyed and applied correctly, or violated, during your stop and arrest. If you were pulled over on private property, for example, implied consent laws do not apply and your breath test may not be admissible.
- Scientific - Usually based on the reliability, condition or operation of the equipment used to determine and prove you were intoxicated. Certain medical conditions such as a gastrointestinal disorder could also be a component in your defense.
Important considerations start with the results of any Breathalyzer, blood test or other substance testing. What do you remember about any field tests, instructions you were given, and how you were treated by police overall? Are there errors or false statements in the police version of your arrest?
Put a Resourceful, Determined Attorney on Your Side
I am a competitive, hardworking criminal defense lawyer. My practice is not built on offering comfort while my clients plead guilty. It is built on going the distance to find the best way to fight a charge or the best case to make for penalties you can live with and overcome.
