We represent clients facing different criminal charges that range from Class C misdemeanor to
Capital Murder. Our goal is to always fight aggressively and thoroughly
and to be on the offensive. We investigate all surrounding evidence and
circumstances to be in the superior position to advise my clients
whether to go to trial or not. If the case is not likely to result in Not Guilty
verdict, we do all possible pre-trial motions and a proper investigation to
know exactly when signing a plea will obtain far more favorable results.
We also represent clients that already been incarcerated and in jail,
after either a bad trial or unfavorable plea agreement that provides for
some jail time. In addition, in appropriate scenarios, we may file for
shock probation ninety (90) days after the judgment. When the stakes
are high, clients facing serious criminal charges deserve the very best defense possible. We have
a successful record in criminal defense, and put that experience to work for our clients.

A: This is a physical procedure to determine how much alcohol you actually have
in your system. There are three ways of doing this test:
1. Drawing a sample of blood from your arm
2. Obtaining a urine sample
3. Obtaining a breath sample by having you blow into a machine called a
Breathalyzer; (This is different from the field sobriety breath device described
above.)
The Breathalyzer is much more sophisticated and exact.
You have the choice of which one of these three tests you will take. The only time
your ability to choose which test you take can legally be restricted is if you are in a
locality that simply does not have a Breathalyzer. The officer is required to tell you
that the option as to which test you take is up to you. But quite often officers will try
to pressure or browbeat a person into taking the blood test because this is the
most effective procedure for the prosecution to use against a person in court. You
do not have the right to refuse to take any test; if you refuse to take a test, your
driver's license is automatically suspended for one year. However, if no test is
taken, no concrete evidence of your intoxication will be available.
