I have been handling DUI cases in Paducah and Western Kentucky for 20 years. DUI cases are highly specialized and require experienced lawyers. DUI convictions can cost you your job, your license, and thousands of dollars in fines, court costs, and increased insurance premiums.

When it comes to DUI, prosecutors are limited in their ability to dismiss or amend the charge - KRS 189A.120 prohibits prosecutors from amending DUIs down and prosecutors will not dismiss DUIs unless there is a compelling reason to do so. Fortunately, DUI is an area where procedure really matters; breath and blood alcohol readings can be excluded from evidence if a defendant is not read an implied consent warning or is not given an opportunity to contact a lawyer. There are other technical reasons that DUI test results or arrests can be thrown out.

I have had many DUI charges amended or dismissed over the years, and I have won jury trials, including in cases where a defendant tested over the limit. There is more to DUI law than just test results!

If you or a loved one are charged with DUI, call me today for a free consultation.
