We understand the legal, factual and technical issues these cases present, and work aggressively to achieve positive results for our clients.

You have only seven days from the date of the mailing of notice of your license suspension to request an administrative per se hearing. Barlow & Murphy, LLP, can represent you at this hearing in an attempt to restore your driver's license.
Successful DUI Defense Strategies
Regardless of what you have heard, it is possible to successfully defend many DUI charges. Our firm will closely examine the facts surrounding your case to determine how to proceed in your case.
Possible defense strategies include:
- Lack of probable cause for the police to stop you
- Improperly conducted field sobriety tests
- Inadmissible blood alcohol tests
- And many others
We will explain your legal options after examining all of the evidence. If your decision is to fight the charge, we will energetically seek to obtain a dismissal of the charge or a not guilty verdict. If the state's case has flaws, we may also be able to obtain a reduction to a non-alcohol related driving charge.
Mitigating Penalties
In some cases, the state's evidence may be strong. In these situations, it may be possible to mitigate the penalties you face (particular in the case of a first-time offender). Barlow & Murphy, LLP, has helped many first-time offenders avoid a DUI conviction, through a plea arrangement which suspends the prosecution pending completion of the Alcohol Education Program. At the conclusion of the program, your record will show no conviction.
