Some charges can put obstacles in your way, while others can put your future at risk. Any type of criminal charge is detrimental, however, there is often a defense to many of the allegations may by police including those involving DUI & drugs, underage DUI or the more serious charges of aggravated DUI, vehicular assault, and vehicular homicide.

Attorney Thomas Parkerson is ready to dispute the evidence brought against you such as findings of field sobriety tests or blood & breath tests, knowing that these are not completely accurate. Investigation can be done to determine if a device was working properly or if an officer carried out the testing wrong. Unfortunately, much of the determination of whether or not a suspect has been drinking can be left up to the arresting officer to decide and people are more than able to make mistakes.
