Charged, arrested, or about to be.
The state has already started building its case. What you do in the first week matters more than almost anything that comes later. Call us before you explain yourself to anyone.
If you're in custody or have a hearing in the next 48 hours, call — we prioritize those.
Schedule a callWhat we defend

Breath and blood testing, the stop, the science, and the licensing consequences that run in parallel.

From infractions to charges carrying life. Fifteen-plus years of trial work behind every case.

What happens next
Same-day triage
Charges, court dates, custody status, conditions of release. We tell you what to do in the next 24 hours.
Discovery and investigation
We get the state's file and test it — the stop, the search, the testing, the witnesses, the timeline.
Motions and negotiation
Suppression and dismissal motions where the facts support them; a resolution that protects your record and your license where they don't.
Trial
If the offer isn't good enough, we try it. That willingness changes the offers we get.
Questions people ask
Stop talking about the case — to police, to co-defendants, on the phone from jail, and on social media. Then call us. Nothing you say to us can be used against you.
There's a separate administrative licensing process with its own short deadline, running alongside the criminal case. Missing it costs you options, so it's the first thing we look at.
Often, yes — when the stop, the search, or the testing doesn't hold up, or when the state's proof is thinner than the charge. It depends on facts we have to actually examine.
No. It makes you look like someone who understands the process. Prosecutors expect it.
Often, yes — separately from the criminal case, and sometimes with its own reporting duty. Doctors, dentists, nurses, social workers, insurance brokers and CDL holders can face board sanctions, monitoring, treatment requirements or loss of license. We loop in a lawyer on our team who does license defense in administrative actions.
Sometimes. We handle criminal appeals, including appeals to undo a conviction where prior counsel failed to advise a client about the immigration consequences of a plea. Whether an appeal is available to you depends on what happened in the trial court and how long ago it happened, so call and we'll tell you what you're actually working with.
You don't have to figure this out alone.
One free conversation, no pressure, and a straight answer about where you stand.
