This course, led by renowned attorneys, Lenny Stamm, Esq. and Andrew Alpert, Esq., will show you how to identify and handle issues that are important in preparing to defend a DUI case in court, from the initial stop of the vehicle, the roadside investigation, the breath test, to plea negotiations, trial and sentencing, as well as how to approach and handle driver license suspension hearings at the MVA.
