DUI Defense

A DUI charge can change your life — but it doesn't have to define it. Our experienced attorneys will fight to protect your license, your freedom, and your future.

⚠️ TIME IS CRITICAL: You only have 7 days to request a DMV hearing to save your license. Contact us immediately.

Do Not Underestimate a DUI Charge

A DUI arrest is not to be taken lightly. A DUI conviction may seriously affect your livelihood and even your ability to visit foreign countries like Canada.

If you have recently been charged with a DUI and/or refusal to submit to a breath test, you should immediately contact an attorney to discuss your particular situation. There are several DUI defense attorneys practicing on the Kenai Peninsula.

Keep this in mind: Not all attorneys are created equal. For your sake, make sure you speak to a DUI attorney with extensive experience and familiarity with Alaska's DUI laws. You get one chance to maximize your chances at obtaining a suitable outcome and minimizing economic loss; don't waste it on a clever Yellow Page ad.

How We Fight Your DUI Charge

A worthwhile DUI defense attorney will be able to review your particular situation and assess your chances at:

🔍

Challenging the Stop

Was the traffic stop legal? We investigate whether your constitutional rights were violated.

❌

Dismissal of Charges

Procedural errors and rights violations can result in complete dismissal of your case.

Not Guilty Verdict at Trial

If needed, we're prepared to fight your case before a jury.

Challenging Breath & Blood Tests

Breathalyzer and blood test results are not infallible. Our attorneys know how to challenge:

  • ✓ Calibration and maintenance records of the testing device
  • ✓ Proper administration of field sobriety tests
  • ✓ Chain of custody for blood samples
  • ✓ Training and certification of the administering officer
  • ✓ Medical conditions that can affect test results
  • ✓ Rising blood alcohol levels (you may not have been over the limit while driving)

Second & Third DUI Offenses

Penalties increase dramatically with repeat offenses. A second DUI within 15 years can result in:

  • • Minimum 20 days jail (up to 1 year)
  • • Minimum $3,000 fine (up to $10,000)
  • • License revocation for 1 year
  • • Ignition interlock device required

If you're facing a second or third DUI charge, the stakes are even higher. Contact us immediately.
