If you have been arrested and charged with DWI/DUI, Matthew T. Martin will carefully manage every aspect of your defense case. The founder of Martin Law Offices, PLLC, Mr. Martin aggressively fights drunk driving charges and works tirelessly to keep you out of prison so you can be with your family. When you hire the firm, Mr. Martin will completely review the evidence and find the best defense opportunities for you in your case.

What To Do When Stopped By Police

If you are stopped by law enforcement, there are specific rules that should be followed:

  • Give the officer your driver’s license and proof of insurance
  • DO NOT admit to anything
  • Politely refuse to answer any questions
  • Politely refuse to participate in any field sobriety tests
  • Contact a lawyer before you test at the police station
  • Continue to politely refuse to make any statements

Talking to law enforcement officials can usually only make matters worse. The police already believe you to be guilty which is why they arrested you in the first place. By representing yourself you create a high risk of incriminating yourself and you may not know all the legalities involved in the criminal proceedings. Matthew Martin is intimately familiar with criminal law and has the extensive training and experience to negotiate and litigate any criminal offense no matter the severity.

Understand The Potential Consequences Of Conviction

Drunk driving and DUI charges can carry serious penalties including license suspension or revocation, significant fines, license reinstatement fees, surcharges, probation, jail time or vehicle forfeiture. Whether it is your second DWI or your third or fourth violation, repeat offenders face even greater penalties. In addition to costs from the state, you may also incur increased insurance premiums and other hidden costs as collateral damage. Whether you are a first-time offender or you are being charged as a repeat offender, an experienced DWI/DUI defense lawyer can fight the charges and the penalties associated with your arrest.

The firm also provides superior legal defense for minors charged with underage DWI. If your child is facing a criminal conviction for underage drinking and driving then their entire future may be at stake.

If you happened to cause an accident while driving under the influence and someone was killed as a result, you may be facing charges of vehicular homicide which is almost interchangeable with a murder charge. If that is the case for you, then you must take these charges very seriously and combat them with an aggressive and proactive defense.
