Criminal, Traffic, and DUI


Traffic & OVI (DUI)


OVI (DUI)
Operating a Vehicle Impaired (OVI), often referred to as driving under the influence (DUI), is a criminal offense. OVI charges can result from the use of both alcohol and drugs. 

There are aspects of the the process and the facts that can determine the outcome of your case. Law enforcement has to follow very specific rules when conducting an OVI stop. These rules are intended to protect you, the citizen, from the government attempting to circumvent your rights. 

The scope of the charge can depend on the facts of the stop, the number of prior offenses, and other factors. Having an experienced OVI attorney can be an invaluable resource to make sure that your case is handled quickly, fairly, and completely, looking to both the case and the legal process to ensure you get a fair opportunity to defend yourself. 
​
If you've been charged with OVI, schedule your FREE CONSULTATION today!
Traffic Charges
Most people are stopped for a traffic offense during their lifetime. Just because you're pulled over does not mean you're guilty. 
If you're stopped for an offense:
  • Be polite, but don't admit you've done anything wrong. The question "Do you know why I'm stopping you today?" should never be answered. 
  • Provide your license and proof of insurance, but don't consent to a search of your vehicle or your person. 
  • Passengers don't need to answer questions. 
  • If you get a ticket, you can fight it. The cost of hiring an attorney is usually much lower than the increase of your insurance rates resulting from a conviction. Paying the ticket online is usually not advised.  
If you receive a traffic ticket, call our office to discuss your options.
