What Our Process Looks Like
- Goal‑setting with you. We get specific about what success means in your case.
- Discovery and investigation. We demand body‑cam, CAD, 911, lab materials, and scene photos.
- Motions with purpose. Stop, search, and statement challenges; lab reliability; expert limitations.
- Candid ranges and options. We weigh resolutions against trial, and we prepare for both.
Evidence & Legal Issues We Press
- Reasons for the stop and the legality of any expansion
- NHTSA field sobriety testing (instructions/admin/scoring) and video consistency
- Custody, Miranda, and voluntariness of statements
- Breath testing: observation period, operator, maintenance, and documentation
- Blood testing: chain of custody and lab compliance
- Searches: consent scope, probable cause, and warrants
