DUI Information

INTRODUCTION TO DUI

Las Vegas Driving Under the Influence (DUI) It is extremely important that you aggressively defend your first DUI offense because of the enhanced penalties within 7 years for a second DUI offense (a minimum of 10 days in jail) and third DUI offense. Las Vegas DUI Lawyer Ross C. Goodman has substantial training and experience in successfully defending Nevada DWI Laws and DUI charges. He is certified in the administration of SFSTs published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). This has resulted in the successful impeachment of these “balancing” tests, and together with developing evidentiary and other witness issues, have contributed to the successful negotiation of hundreds of cases to the reduced charge of Reckless Driving.
