DUI and Traffic Violations

Experienced Memphis Criminal Defense Attorney
Defense of DUI and other Traffic Violations

We all make mistakes while driving. Unfortunately, our mistakes can have serious consequences. To minimize the effect of a DUI or other traffic violation, call on an experienced criminal defense attorney. From my law office in Memphis, I have defended clients in traffic-related cases for over fifteen years. I work hard to protect your rights at the negotiating table and in the courtroom.

Driving Under the Influence

A DUI conviction can have a serious impact on your future. But a DUI charge does not mean you are guilty. It is the state's responsibility to prove that you were actually driving under the influence. I will investigate the facts of your case to ensure the police followed the proper procedures to pull you over and make an arrest for DUI. The state must have evidence of probable cause or reasonable suspicion.

You should always fight DUI charges. Even if your blood alcohol content is alleged to be over the legal limit, there are still defenses to a DUI.

Consult a lawyer as soon as you are charged with a DUI. Do not talk to anyone else about the case before you talk to your attorney.

Traffic Violations

Many people do not consult attorneys for help with traffic violations. But you can appeal or contest the fine and avoid harsh penalties. I can help you reduce or eliminate fines associated with traffic violations, and I will work with the department of transportation to help you keep your driving privileges.

I help clients who have been charged with a variety of traffic violations:

• Speeding tickets
• Reckless driving charges
• Running red lights
• Failing to maintain proper lookout
• Driving without a license
• Driving with a suspended or revoked license
• Vehicular assault or vehicular homicide

Some charges are obviously more serious than others, but letting multiple traffic tickets accumulate without appealing or paying the fines can lead to serious consequences. Contact me and I will work hard to defend your rights in court.

If you are facing heavy fines or time in jail due to a traffic violation, contact me today for a free initial consultation. My office is located within walking distance to the 201 Poplar criminal courthouse.
