A DUI arrest can have immediate and long-lasting ramifications. Depending on the charges and aggravating factors, a conviction can lead to jail time, license suspension and a criminal record, as well as Ignition Interlock, higher insurance and problems with employment.

We realize that even a first offense of DUI/DWI must be taken seriously and that conviction for a subsequent or felony DUI must be avoided at all costs.

Skilled DUI Defense In Columbia And Howard County
Our attorneys have received the same training as law enforcement officers regarding detection of impaired driving and administration of the standardized field sobriety tests. Being certified in these techniques by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the International Association of Chiefs of Police allows us to analyze the case against our clients to determine if police followed proper procedure and observed our client's constitutional rights in the traffic stop, roadside interrogation, arrest and blood, or breath samples.
Identifying errors or violations gives us leverage in the Howard County courts to suppress evidence, get charges dismissed or reduced, or to challenge the prosecution at trial. We represent clients in hearings, motions, trial, sentencing and appeals. In other words, our DUI defense practice is committed to beating the charges or minimizing the negative impact on your life.
