At Tyack Blackmore Liston & Nigh, we understand the seriousness of a drunk driving or underage drunk driving charge. As with any criminal charge, there is a great deal at stake if you have been arrested for OVI. Our criminal defense attorneys have a reputation for skillful legal OVI/DUI representation during administrative license hearings, plea negotiations, pre-trial hearings, trial, and post-trial proceedings.
Our OVI/DUI defense attorneys can assist you with all of the following:
- Breathalyzers and breath tests
- Field sobriety tests
- Administrative license suspensions
- Teenage drunk driving charges
- Driving with a suspended license
- Felony or repeat OVI charges
What You Can Expect from Our Law Firm
When you hire our law firm, we immediately start protecting your rights in an administrative license proceeding. After you are arrested, there is a limited amount of time to appeal and prepare for an administrative license suspension hearing. Over the years we have successfully helped clients maintain their driving privileges while their criminal case is pending.
OVI/DUI trials often involve scientific evidence. We make extensive use of scientific experts to help us challenge the prosecution’s case. Breathalyzer results, field sobriety tests, probable cause, and search and seizure law all provide opportunities to challenge the charges against you.
At Tyack Blackmore Liston & Nigh, we fight for our clients and we aren’t afraid to take any legal matter to trial. However, if a trial doesn’t serve your best interests, we will educate you regarding the options that are available.
