OUI / DUI Defense
An OUI or DUI charge can affect your license, your record, your job, and your future. After an arrest, it is important to understand what happened during the stop, how testing was handled, whether proper procedures were followed, and what options may be available.
Russman & Phinney Law helps clients evaluate the facts of the case, understand the potential consequences, and prepare a defense strategy based on the specific circumstances involved. We know that people facing an OUI charge often have immediate concerns about driving privileges, court deadlines, and what the charge could mean long term.
