Your Questions, Answered
-
We provide focused DUI defense in San Francisco and throughout the Bay Area, handling cases from arrest through trial. Our practice centers on preserving constitutional rights, challenging unlawful traffic stops and detentions, and attacking the reliability of police investigations. This includes scrutinizing field sobriety tests, breath and blood testing, officer observations, and procedural errors. Every case is prepared with litigation in mind, not quick disposal. When the law and facts support it, we file suppression motions, challenge the prosecution’s evidence, and take cases to trial. The objective is always the same: reduce or eliminate charges and protect your record.
