About Robert Hamilton German
Rob has practiced criminal defense for over 33 years. Prior to becoming a lawyer, he was a police officer who arrested hundreds of drunk drivers. His experience and background places him far above other lawyers who claim to practice drunk driving defense. Drunk driving defense requires that a lawyer understand every aspect of the case from the stop of accused to the testing whether it be breath, blood or urine. After the arrest, the lawyer must understand the legal process and how to suppress the evidence against the client. During his over 40 yrs of criminal justice experience, Rob has watched or participated in literally hundreds of cases. He has learned from the best lawyers how to successfully represent clients wrongfully accused of drunk driving. While Rob represents clients in all criminal cases, his expertise is in drunk driving defense. His practice is focused on the difficult cases where the client's freedom and ability to continue diving are at stake. Rob represents clients charged with drunk driving, drunk boating and FAA (drunk flying) violations. Do not try to navigate the legal system without legal counsel, the penalties are too harsh and can be life changing.

04/23/2025
Written by Neil Halttunen I want to address a common issue that DWI practitioners are facing, trying to keep FSTs out of a trial. One way is to take the position that FSTs are scientific evidence and make the prosecutor lay scientific foundation which they rarely can do. The HGN test was the result of several studies. See Generally Session 8 of...
