A substantial portion of his practice is dedicated to DUI defense at both the state and federal levels, including a focus on prosecution that originates on local federal installations. This is a constantly evolving area of law, effected daily by case precedent and statutory revision. In light of the damage a DUI conviction can do, it is important to know your rights, and employ someone capable of protecting them.
