You Face Two Legal Problems

An arrest for driving while intoxicated initiates two legal proceedings — one criminal and the other an administrative procedure that will likely result in the loss of your driver's license.

Our firm may be able to prevent the loss of your driver's license by requesting a hearing within 15 calendar days of your arrest. We can use this hearing to try and prevent a license suspension, establish facts to use in your criminal defense, and obtain an occupational license for you.

Success Is Possible

Even if you blew over .08% during a breath test, your case may not be over.

As an experienced DWI defense attorney, Hank Judin has succeeded in numerous cases. The legal issues and defense strategies for a first time DWI offense are the same as for a third DWI offense. Was the police officer justified in stopping your vehicle? Were your constitutional rights protected during and after the investigation? Was the breath testing done properly?

Our firm will investigate these and other questions. If a defense on these grounds are possible, we will seek to obtain a dismissal of the charge, a negotiated plea, or a vigorous defense of the charge at trial.

When the State's Case Is Strong

We do not push expensive defense campaigns when they are unnecessary or ultimately unhelpful to the client. When the State's evidence is strong, the best strategy for a person accused of a first time drunk driving offense may be a plea which minimizes the penalties you face. Our firm can discuss these options with you. If this is your choice, we will seek a negotiated outcome with minimal penalties, so that you can put the vent behind you and move forward in your life.
