Attorney FAQ

  • What types of cases do you support?

    I specialize in DUI cases including alcohol, drug, poly-drug, refusal, CDL, felony DUI, and cases involving DRE evaluations or SFSTs. I also assist with pre-trial motions, mitigation, and DOL hearings.

  • Do you testify?

    Yes. My reports are designed to stand on their own, but I’m also available for written declarations, remote testimony, or in-person testimony when needed.

  • How long does your evaluation take?

    Turnaround is typically within 5–7 days, depending on the complexity and materials. I can expedite turnaround by request.

  • Do your evaluations contain citations?

    Always. Every observation is backed by SFST/DRE protocol (NHTSA, etc.), relevant law enforcement policy/procedure, or scientific literature. Each citation is strategically presented for courtroom use or cross-examination.

  • Can I use your reports in negotiations or pre-trial motions?

    Absolutely. My evaluations have led to reduced charges or pre-trial leverage. They’re written to give you tools, not just summaries.

  • Can you help with the DOL hearing, or just the criminal case?

    I regularly assist with Department of Licensing (DOL) hearings by providing written memos that highlight key procedural flaws like improper advisements, testing issues, or problems with implied consent. These memos are built for you to use directly during the hearing, and I’m available to testify when needed.

  • What sets your reports apart from typical expert reports?

    Most expert reports tend to summarize the obvious What’s already in the police report or the BAC results. Mine are built differently. Each evaluation is designed with litigation in mind, offering a procedural breakdown of the stop, field tests, arrest, implied consent, and chemical testing. Everything is backed by direct references to authoritative sources like the NHTSA manuals, the DRE matrix, and other relevant protocols. Not just discovery. I include page references and timestamps to make cross-examination and motion writing seamless. Attorneys rely on these reports not just to explain what happened, but to strategically shift how the case is approached. This isn’t a generic summary. It’s a tactical asset.

  • We’re looking for ongoing support, not just one-off reports. Do you offer triage or firm-based services?

    Yes, I work with a number of firms who rely on me for more than individual case evaluations. For high-volume practices, I offer a triage model: quick, early reviews that flag key issues, identify cases worth fighting, and help prioritize internal resources. When a case calls for deeper support, I can seamlessly transition into a full strategic evaluation. I also offer retainer-based partnerships for firms who want consistent access, faster turnaround, and custom deliverables. This kind of support helps firms save time, catch details early, and consistently raise the standard of defense. I’m not just a vendor. I function as a trusted tactical advisor embedded into your team.

  • Can I involve you mid-case, or is it better to bring you in early?

    I can add value at any stage, but earlier is almost always better. When brought in pre-motion or early in negotiations, my evaluations often shift the trajectory of a case: highlighting procedural flaws, testing errors, or inconsistencies that may otherwise go unchallenged. That said, I’ve also been brought in the week before trial and delivered findings that reshaped defense strategy. Whether you’re triaging a high-volume caseload or preparing for litigation, I can adapt to your timeline and provide actionable insight exactly when you need it.

Facing Charges FAQ

  • What do you actually do?

    I take a second, extremely thorough, and technical look, at your DUI case to include all video, reports, toxicology results, etc. I then write a professional evaluation that your attorney can use in court, negotiations, or motions.

  • How much does this cost?

    Pricing varies depending on the complexity of the case. Reach out directly and I’ll explain the options. No pressure, just transparency.

  • I already have an attorney. Can I still hire you?

    Yes. Many clients bring me on independently and share the evaluation with their attorney. Most defense lawyers welcome the added support, especially when it’s courtroom-ready. I always encourage collaboration with your retained counsel for optimal results.

  • I haven't hired an attorney yet. Should I still reach out?

    Definitely. I can walk you through how my process works, what to expect, and how my report can be shared with your defense team once you have one.

  • I have a public defender. Can I still use your services?

    Yes! In fact, this is a very common situation. Many clients with public defenders bring me on privately. You have every right to seek outside support, and I’ll make sure the evaluation is clear, cited, and ready for your attorney to use in court or negotiations. In many cases, PDs are grateful to have a detailed expert report handed to them, especially when time and resources are tight.

  • My BAC was over the limit. What could you possibly do to help?

    Being “over the limit” doesn’t automatically mean the case was handled properly. I review the entire arrest process: stop, testing, procedures, technical/scientific procedures, to uncover any missteps or violations of protocol. Even in tough cases, strategic analysis can create leverage for your attorney to negotiate or defend more effectively.
