Criminal Defense & Traffic/DUI
Criminal Defense Desk
Nine named sub-domains covering the DUI/DWI defense arc — the stop, the testing device, the license, the courtroom, and everything a conviction touches afterward. A DUI runs as two proceedings at once, criminal and administrative, and the corpus tracks both.
Administrative License Suspension Practice
The civil matter against your license that runs on its own clock — hearing deadlines, stay requests, and restricted-license eligibility.
Chemical Testing, Device Integrity and Per Se Liability
Breathalyzer and blood-draw law: calibration records, testing protocol, and what a number above or below the limit actually proves.
Search, Suppression and Pattern Motion Practice
The stop, the arrest, and the evidence — what gets suppressed when procedure failed, and the motions that test it.
Priorability and Sentencing Exposure
When an old DUI counts against a new one, and what that does to mandatory minimums.
Disposition, Plea and Diversion
Plea structures, diversion programs, and which outcomes keep a record clean enough to matter later.
Collateral Consequences Integration and Liability
What a DUI touches beyond the courtroom — immigration, employment, licensure, insurance — and when counsel must warn.
Expert Qualification Doctrine
Who counts as an expert on testing devices and impairment, and how their opinions get admitted or excluded.
Trial Practice and Authority Weighting
Trying the matter: which authorities move a court, and how impairment evidence plays to a jury.
Referral Supervision and Professional Responsibility
Where a matter demands specialist counsel, and the duties owed when work is referred.
