The attorneys listed here are members of the National College for DUI Defense, Inc., but the listing is not a representation of and implies no level of special competence (unless such member is shown as Board Certified, in which case they are acknowledged as having special competence). No one should hire any lawyer simply because they are listed on this or any other web site or legal directory. The information here is intended only to provide contact information and some, member provided, biographical information, none of which represents the opinion or views of the NCDD. NCDD makes no effort to confirm the accuracy of biographical information posted by its members and, to the extent it maters to anyone considering hiring such attorney, should be independently confirmed by such person. Anyone seeking to hire an attorney should talk to and-or meet with the attorney and only hire that lawyer if such person is satisfied, based on their own inquiry and not based on anything on this page, that the attorney is who they want to represent them.

This valuable information can ensure that you provide a high quality defense to clients charged with DUI based on the circumstances of their case and the laws in their state.
