Protecting Your Future When It Matters Most
Being arrested for DUI in Mississippi is frightening. You may be facing license suspension, fines, possible jail time, and a criminal record that can affect your job and insurance for years. At Lowrey, Fortner, & Miri P.A., we understand how high the stakes are and we are ready to fight for the best possible outcome in your case.
Not every DUI case is as strong as it appears. Many cases can be challenged on issues such as the legality of the traffic stop, the accuracy of field sobriety tests, breathalyzer calibration, or whether proper procedures were followed during arrest and testing.
