Experienced, Thorough and Knowledgeable
As a DUI and drug defense lawyer for many years, I regularly represent clients charged with driving under the influence of prescription or illegal drugs. Moreover, I worked for the DA’s Office prosecuting the same types of cases that I now defend.
The law considers any drug a narcotic, and classifies DUI drug charges at the highest tier of DUI offenses. At the same time, you need to be reminded by someone who knows: Not every arrest for a DUI and drugs results in a conviction.
Prosecutors are not interested in helping you out, even if this is your first brush with the law and you did not know that you could be pulled over for prescription medicine in your blood.
An Uphill Climb I Have Won on Behalf of Past Clients
If you are charged with having prescribed or illegal drugs in your system, you face a strong legal challenge that I am well equipped to handle on your behalf. I will comb through every aspect of the evidence against you, using my many years of experience in the field.
A good DUI drug defense involves a lawyer who knows how to take every potential piece of evidence against you and examine it thoroughly for mistakes, weaknesses or technical flaws. In the case of controlled substances that have been legally prescribed, I will make that clear to the prosecution. One step I may take is to retain a credible toxicologist to evaluate the BAC levels and/or the drug toxicity levels to help demonstrate that prescribed drug was at a therapeutic level.
- Did the officer perform an illegal search and seizure?
- How did you come to be pulled over, and was the stop legal?
- Did you feel intimidated by the police at any point in the process?
