Law enforcement will frequently try to convince, or even coerce, you into giving a statement with false promises of favorable treatment. But whatever benefit you get from "hanging yourself" is far outweighed by the damage you will do to your case. The most important thing to remember if confronted by law enforcement is to say and do nothing. You are never required to give evidence or testimony against yourself. Whatever information the police want can always be given through this attorney at a later date and only if it is beneficial to you.

Schedule a consultation to discuss the particulars of your situation and strategies for obtaining: restoration of driving privileges for DUI / DWI defendants, avoidance of increased insurance rates, or driver’s license suspension for people who have been cited for speeding or reckless driving or traffic matters.

If you would like a free initial consultation on your case, please feel free to call or email us or fill out the contact form. We will return your inquiry as soon as possible.
