We sue drunk drivers

Drunk driving isn't an "accident."  It is 100% preventable.  When people choose to drink and drive, and crash, victims need help.  We help our clients get justice, navigate a complex and dual world of criminal and civil justice, and recover damages from all the people or bars responsible for the damages related to the DUI.   Call us for a free consultation.

Drunk Driving claims are controlled by strict statutes and, often, complicated laws regarding who can recover and the time frame in which claims must be brought, which in some instances is as little as six months after an event that leads to injury or death.
