How a Lawyer Can Help
Although each case is different, here are some of actions that we might take in your case:

- Determine the weather and the road conditions that existed at the time of the stop
- Find out whether the machine that measures blood alcohol (BAL) — the DataMaster — was correctly calibrated
- Arrange for treatment programs when appropriate
- Prepare clients for their court appearances
- Help you recover your driver's license
