Greg and his team were excellent in helping me with my driving restoration case. From start to finish, they made the whole process smooth and stress-free, and I was able to get my driving privileges reinstated at the first hearing! They communicated clearly, answered all my questions, and kept me in the loop the whole way through. Their pricing was also really fair for the quality of service they delivered. I would highly recommend Greg and his team to anyone looking for reliable and effective legal help.

Greg was great to work with from start to finish. He took the time to walk me through every step of my owi arrest, got me a nice plea; he set expectations from the beginning and exceeded my expectations. Worth every penny.

Investigating Your Case

Many individuals charged with driving under the influence of alcohol do not realize that they may have a legal defense to DUI or Drugged Driving.

The defense needs to be aggressive and thorough to increase your chance of a plea reduction or dismissal. Our complete investigation reveals whether you have a legal defense.

  • In-depth investigation of evidence
  • Review of breath/blood test
  • Review police report
  • Review of in-car and booking room video

Standardized Field Sobriety Tests

With a typical drunk driving case, the police officer's investigation will begin with the observation of the driving and will continue until you are arrested. Usually, this occurs when you are handcuffed and placed into the patrol vehicle.

  • HGN: test is only evidence of presence of alcohol, not impairment.
  • Walk and turn (heal to toe) - test involving your ability to follow instructions and maintain balance
  • One leg stand
  • Officer is required to instruct and demonstrate both balance tests
  • In many occasions, officers fail to follow protocol in testing, which can lead to plea reduction or dismissal
DUI Breath Test

Physiology of Alcohol

Made up of a hydroxyl functional group that is bonded to a carbon atom, alcohol is an organic compound that can affect the body in different ways. Ethyl is the form of alcohol that is typically consumed today, and by recognizing how the body metabolizes ethyl, certain assumptions can be made.

The Widemark Formula is based on this principle, that by knowing the weight and gender of a person, the type and amount of alcohol they had, how much food they had in their system during consumption and the period of time over which the alcohol was consumed, an estimate can be made through a mathematical formula about the level of alcohol within their bloodstream.

This test is often highly considered by a judge during a case for drunk driving, but there are faults which can make the findings of it inaccurate. On top of the test not being 100% error-proof, there is the chance that an officer administered a test wrong. There are different defenses which may be used in regards to DUI charges and our team is highly knowledgeable and experienced in these matters.
