Woodbury DUI Defense Lawyer 
Thomas W. Jakway, P.A.
Did the police officers who stopped your vehicle have a valid reason to do so?
Was the breath, blood or urine test that you took conducted properly?
Were you denied your right to counsel or to seek additional testing?
No matter what you think the facts of your DUI case are, these and other important questions need to be asked and answered.
As an attorney, I have been aggressively and successfully defending the rights of individuals against charges of drunk driving for my entire 18-year career. In that time, I have handled hundreds of these cases and have gained extensive knowledge and insight into how and where these charges can be challenged.
I can start putting that experience and insight to work for you right now.

My philosophy in criminal and DUI defense is to do everything possible to protect my clients. In DUI this involves fighting the implied consent driver's license revocation. This is extremely important because the continued loss of driving privileges may impact employment and normal everyday life. Beyond these initial effects, if the revocation stays on your driving record, it may make any future DUIs have more serious penalties. This is called enhancement or use as an aggravating factor. Even if the criminal charge of DUI is dismissed, the license revocation may be used against you in the future.
Proper preparation and discovery of evidence is important in DUI cases. For example, one of the most useful tools in defending against both the civil and criminal aspects of DUI charges is the audio and videotape taken of your arrest and initial interview by the police themselves. But it is important that you hire an attorney as soon as possible after your arrest to make sure that any potential evidence on those tapes is preserved.
Time limits on challenging a notice of revocation or a notice of forfeiture also make it important to hire a lawyer very soon after your arrest in order to begin protecting your rights. You may waive your opportunity to fight your license revocation or your forfeiture if you do not act promptly.
Convictions for driving under the influence can cost you future employment and financial opportunities and can also be used to make any future charges against you more serious. These and other facts about DUI make one thing clear:
Experienced and aggressive criminal defense is not an option. It's essential.
