Driving impairments: over-the-counter and prescription medications. Many individuals are charged with driving under the influence while using over-the-counter and prescription drugs with or without a small amount of alcohol. You may not have known that the drugs would impair your driving abilities or you may have been illegally stopped and tested. Whatever the circumstances, our attorneys have experience with these cases and know how to protect clients’ rights.

An arresting officer MUST have a valid reason to stop you. Our attorneys will fully investigate the facts of your case using police reports, witness statements and your account to challenge any evidence presented against you. Even if you tested positive in a blood, breath or urine test, the results may not be used in court if they were illegally obtained. If we can successfully challenge the evidence, it is possible to see your charges dismissed. For a free consultation, contact our offices today.
