— Former Client

Outstanding in every aspect of my DUI case.

I highly recommend Mr. Hartman. He was excellent in every aspect of my DUI case. Since it was my first one I didn't know what to expect dealing with the judicial system. He was able to explain the entire process to me before and during the court hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions About DUI Charges

Even a first DUI can carry serious, lasting consequences for your license, your finances, and your record.

It's worth speaking with an attorney before you make any decisions about your case.

Write down everything you remember about the stop while it's still fresh, avoid discussing the details on social media, and speak with a DUI attorney as soon as possible. Some steps after an arrest are time-sensitive and can affect your driving privileges, so acting quickly matters.
