For two years, while serving as an Assistant District Attorney, Mr. Amsel almost exclusively prosecuted drunk driving cases. That experience gives us an inside look at how the government builds and prosecutes drunk driving cases, including the tests and machines they use, and allows us to leverage that experience in your defense.
