Time Is of The Essence
If you have been charged with DUII, you should get an experienced attorney involved immediately. There are steps to take in the days following your charge that can limit the damage to your criminal and driving record. For example, you have only 10 days from the date of your DUII citation to request a DMV hearing regarding the suspension of your driver's license. That administrative process is entirely separate from the criminal charges that are filed against you.
Search and Seizure Law — A Critical Component to Your DUII Defense
Often your best defense to a DUII involves issues unrelated to factual guilt or innocence. In many cases, evidence of intoxication obtained during an unconstitutional traffic stop is inadmissible against you in both the administrative and the criminal process. Without this evidence to be used for its criminal prosecution, the state might be forced to dismiss the charge or offer a favorable plea.
As a law professor, I taught criminal law and constitutional search and seizure law. I have the base of knowledge to help you prepare your best defense to a DUII charge.
