DUI Offenses

Drunk driving laws carry tough and steep penalties including the loss of your driving privileges. Aggravating circumstances such as accidents and injuries can also severely affect your case and penalties. However, like any other criminal charge, a person charged with driving under the influence (DUI) is innocent until proven guilty. If charged with a DUI, you need a skilled DUI defense attorney to get your charges reduced or dismissed. 

When looking for the best DUI defense lawyer for your case, find one that thoroughly understands the evidence of your case. They must know how to assess all sobriety tests available, whether standardized (horizontal gaze nystagmus, walk/turn test, one-leg stand test) or non-standardized (counting numbers or saying the alphabet backward).

At McCord Law, we have decades of experience understanding and assessing the evidence, process, and potential outcomes of your case. Contact us for a discussion on your case.

Drug Offenses

Drug possession can result in serious jail time and expensive fines. If you have been arrested or charged with possession, been subjected to illegal search and seizure, police abuse of power, or are carrying medical marijuana, make sure to hire an experienced lawyer. 

Consider the competence of your drug possession attorney by their track record of achievement, strong credentials, specialization, and referrals. Also, they need to be qualified attorneys who understand the complexities of the law and court, especially in your locality. Lastly, strong communication with your attorney can make or break your case. A good attorney will properly communicate the details of your case in a clear, concise way, so you can consider your options and decide on an action plan. 

Don’t leave your case to chance. The reputation and experience of McCord Law is unparalleled, so you’ll have the best chance of defeating your charges. Contact us to know your best options.

Appellate Law

Losing a criminal case isn’t always the end of your litigation journey. Sometimes, it’s the beginning of a hopeful, albeit more cumbersome, process. Appellate law focuses on appealing an unfavorable verdict up the chain of courts. Aside from going through the circumstances of your case, adding a fresh perspective may be just what you need to win. 

Hiring a seasoned appellate attorney who knows the process and can present a compelling case to the District Court of Appeals judges is your best chance at success. McCord Law has more than book knowledge when it comes to appeals. We’re proven when it comes to post-conviction proceedings and make communication with our clients a top priority. Trust us to handle your appeal from start to finish.
