Cleveland, Ohio, DUI Defense Lawyer Harvey B. Bruner

Ohioans who have been charged with drunk driving in the Cleveland or Akron areas rely on my proficiency as an accomplished DUI defense attorney. My clients range from first-time offenders who were stopped after a night out with co-workers to repeat offenders who struggle with chronic chemical dependency issues.

When someone charged with a DWI/DUI offense contacts my law offices, I urge them to be as honest as possible and to work with me as cooperatively as possible as we pursue a favorable outcome.

DWI/DUI Defense: Traffic Stop and Arrest Issues

In many cases, we can contest a DUI arrest on the basis of one or more of the following aspects of the arrest:

• The traffic stop: was there probable cause?
• The sobriety test: was it given in a manner that protected the suspect's legal rights?
• The breathalyzer results: were they certifiably reliable?

DWI/DUI Defense: Commitment to Prevent Repeat Offenses

Sometimes, however, the suspect knows that they were, in fact, driving while intoxicated at the time of a traffic stop. This situation is no barrier to a strong DUI defense.

My clients respect my knowledge and experience and listen carefully to my advice. In a case of a repeat offense, my advice may include demonstrating a commitment to preventing further instances of drinking and driving. This might mean going to alcohol-abuse treatment or Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Honesty and sincerity go a long way in enabling me to present the strongest possible DUI defense on behalf of my clients who are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
