The attorneys listed here are members of the National College for DUI Defense, Inc., but the listing is not a representation of and implies no level of special competence (unless such member is shown as Board Certified, in which case they are acknowledged as having special competence).

Anyone seeking to hire an attorney should talk to and-or meet with the attorney and only hire that lawyer if such person is satisfied, based on their own inquiry and not based on anything on this page, that the attorney is who they want to represent them.
