David is a miracle worker plain and simple.
From day 1 he and his staff worked tirelessly to resolve my next to impossible case. Due to COVID it took especially long to resolve, but they never gave up. He guided me on the best things to do in order to improve the outcome and I followed his advice to a T. From there he did his part and negotiated a complete dismissal. Each and every time I had a question or wanted an update he was quick to personally reply or call. I couldn’t recommend him more.

This Law Firm was absolutely incredible.
From the first day, David T gave me insight into what I should expect. He made the process clear and set the right expectations with me. I was in a mess, I had lost my CDL and my career, I was terrified of all the directions this could go but these guys gave me hope. I met Rafael during my court dates and he was so invested in getting me results. Because of them, my case was completely dismissed! Didn’t even get a traffic ticket! With what I had stacked against me, it was hard to see a way out but Hayden, Rafael, and David made it happen! They have very reasonable costs and even allowed me to split payments. If you need a solid defense, don’t look anywhere else. You will be in good hands!

Why the ALR Hearing Is Included
The ALR hearing is a critical moment to tie the arresting officer to his report — under oath, months before the criminal case is decided. We cross-examine the officer and lock in sworn testimony about the stop, the field sobriety tests, and the arrest. Inconsistencies between that testimony and the written report become impeachment material, and the hearing forces an early preview of the state’s evidence. Information developed at the ALR regularly exposes suppression issues that lead to criminal DWI dismissals. Requesting it within 15 days also protects your license from automatic suspension while the case is pending. That is why we never treat the ALR as an add-on: it is included in every DWI representation.
Why the Trial Fee Is Included
When someone hires us, they are hiring us for the full case. As experienced DWI trial attorneys, we prepare every case as if it is going to trial — because prosecutors know which defense lawyers are ready to pick a jury and which are looking to plead. Most cases settle before trial, but trial readiness is exactly what produces the best outcomes for our clients. You will never face a mid-case invoice to take your own case to trial.
