CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY AND DWI LAWYER

Some lawyers can say...

• They are Board Certified in Criminal Law.
• They have tried more than 80 jury trials.
• They worked more than nine years as a prosecutor.
• They served as a Chief Prosecutor in a felony district court.
• They have taught trial advocacy at the University of Texas Law School.
• They have tried jury trials in both State and Federal Court.
• They worked as a briefing attorney for a US District Judge.
• They are Certified to administer Field Sobriety Tests, having completed the same course that DWI enforcement officers must take.
• They have tried a breath test case to a jury and won.

I CAN SAY ALL OF THOSE THINGS

How does all of this experience help you? Simple: I know the system inside and out. I know what prosecutors are looking for, how they assess a case, and what motivates them to offer the best plea bargains. If we can't strike a deal with the prosecutor, I won't waste my time - or your money - on defenses I know won't work. I will defend you aggressively and professionally.

If you were accused of sexual assault, and they said your semen proved it, you would have a right to have your own DNA expert witness look at the evidence.  Again, the prosecutor has his expert look at the evidence; you have yours look at the evidence. 

If you were accused of murder, and they said ballistics evidence showed that your handgun was the one that fired the fatal shot, you would have a right to have your own ballistics expert witness look at the evidence.  Again, The prosecutor has his expert look at the evidence; you have yours look at the evidence. 

Why is it then, that the manufacturer of one of the “breathalyzer” machines, the Intoxilyzer 5000EN (and the one we use in Texas) refuses to turn over the source code over to the State of Minnesota?  Click this link to see a Feb. 19, 2010 news story about this.
