Driving Offenses
Our office represents individuals charged with all varieties of traffic-related offenses. Our experience of over 15 years helps us to be aggressive in our representation and we will work to resolve the matter in a zealous and competent manner for you. We are experienced in handling infractions such as:
- Speeding
- Driving under the Influence of Drugs or Alcohol (DUI /DWI)
- Negligent Driving and Driving while License Suspended (DWLS)
Vehicular Assault and Vehicular Homicide are handled as felonies, even though they involve driving. In most cases, driving offenses are more significant than initially meets the eye. License suspension follows the more serious offenses and all offenses usually result in increased insurance premiums.
It is important to remember that there are different standards of proof required for the different offenses as well as the necessary evidence. For a traffic infraction such as speeding, the state must prove by a "preponderance of the evidence," a relatively low standard, while in a criminal citation such as DUI or DWLS, the state has to prove by the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt," the highest degree of proof.
