Experienced Representation
We Appear For You
Attorney Roland Tiemann
We will discuss the likely outcome of your case including punishment, all DMV/license issues including restricted license, SR22’s, ignition interlock, and DUI classes. We will discuss all legal/scientific defenses including no driving/drink after driving defenses, illegal stop, Miranda violation, medical defenses, and blood/breath testing problems. We will discuss all Professional License, Commercial License and out of state related license issues.
Non-DUI settlement options will keep you out of jail and look better on your criminal/DMV record. If you’re a veteran, we can get your case dismissed. A wet/dry reckless is better than a DUI because there is no license suspension, no jail time, no ignition interlock, a reduced fine, 6-week DUI class, and only a 1-year probation term. After 1 year, we can file an expungement which will dismiss your case.
