Alaska Drunk Driving (DUI) Defense Lawyer

Criminal Defense

A Driving Under the Influence charge is serious and can change your life

Police, prosecutors, and the courts treat Driving Under the Influence (“DUI”) charges very seriously. A DUI charge can easily turn into a conviction without proper legal representation. Only a skilled attorney can help you get through this complex area of law and lead you to the best outcome in your case.

It is not always clear whether those few drinks you had will put you over the legal limit. Just about everyone is in danger of getting a DUI at some point in their lives. During a DUI traffic stop, police officers have to follow strict procedures to have a case against you. Our team knows what the officers did wrong, or should have done, and uses that information to fight your case.

Our team will analyze the police officer’s investigation, which includes:

    • Probable cause to stop
    • Probable cause to arrest
    • Mistakes in the field sobriety test
    • Flaws in the breath test
    • Violations of your right to an attorney

A DUI conviction comes with significant consequences. Even if it is your first offense, you may be subject to jail time, a large fine, forced to have an ignition interlock device in your car, and license revocation. You will also be responsible for the cost of both your imprisonment and ignition interlock device. Moreover, there are secondary consequences, such as increased automobile insurance rates and the social stigma of having a conviction on your record.

Every DUI case is different. Some cases need to go to trial and other cases need to settle out of court. Either way, our team will fight tirelessly to protect your rights and get you the best result possible.
