A guilty verdict can upend your life. Aside from the potential for jail time or heavy fines, you may lose your job, your license, and even your friends. Putting together a strong defense can make a big difference in your outcome.

Our team at Ashcraft & Gerel has decades of combined experience. We’ve litigated serious, high-profile cases, and give every client our full attention. Don’t wait if you’re facing criminal charges—reach out to us to get your defense started.

DUI/DWI and Traffic Offenses Cases
Getting a DUI or DWI charge is serious business, especially if it’s not your first. However, a court date is not a guilty verdict, and we can help you fight back. Though DUI and DWI penalties can be strict, with a proper defense you may be able to get the charges reduced or challenge the integrity of the evidence against you.
It’s essential you act fast if you’ve been charged with a DUI or DWI. Your license will automatically be suspended unless you request an MVA hearing within 10 days of your arrest. Our attorneys can get started on your claim right away. We’re here to help you understand what to expect as we defend your case.
We can also defend you if you were charged with other serious traffic violations including:
- Driving on a suspended license
- Driving without a license
- Hit and run
- Reckless driving
You do not want to risk having your license suspended; especially if you already have points on your license, defending yourself may not end well. It’s always better safe than sorry—and better well-represented than on your own.
