How Can a Defense Lawyer Help You?

If it will serve your best long-term interests, we will do everything possible to get you into the sobriety program you need if you show that you are sincere about getting sober. This is often the best legal strategy for many of our clients. It is not the only legal strategy we have for your best interests, however.

"Felony DUI defense requires extensive courtroom experience. We are not a DUI mill. We thoroughly investigate the evidence and aggressively prepare your case to win in court. When the prosecutor sees we are serious about winning, he or she is often willing to find a settlement that works for everyone." — Attorney Robert Wilson

Hutton & Khalaf is Here for You

We may be able to question the evidence presented against you and have your case dismissed. Or, we may look into your prior arrests to determine if any of them should be reduced or not counted against you. This may reduce the number of DUIs for which you have been convicted and significantly reduce the penalties you may face.
