Criminal Defense Attorney
A former prosecutor and judge, attorney Alan J. Levine is certified in DWI / DUI Detection & Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFSTs) per the National Highway and Traffic Safety Agency curriculum and standards. He learned these procedures and skills from former DUI Task Force professionals. So, Alan knows how to perform the same evaluations given by the officer who may have arrested you, or a loved one, during a DUI investigation including the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, Walk and Turn, and One Leg Stand tasks. (We don’t usually refer to the SFSTs as tests here, as the word test denotes a higher degree of uniformity and reliability than we believe these tasks deserve.)
And guess what? Officers often make mistakes when giving instructions and then assessing these tasks on a driver they’re investigating.
Now the prosecutor will try to minimize any mistakes made by the officer, while at the same time pointing out each and every mistake you may have made. But police errors are NOT trivial. And your mistakes need not be fatal – or even admissible. Knowing what to look for during a thorough analysis of the arresting officer’s investigation can mean the difference between a DUI conviction versus a much better outcome.
If ever there was a serious misdemeanor charge that affects people of all ages and socioeconomic backgrounds, it is Driving Under the Influence. Attorney Alan J. Levine began his legal career as a prosecutor with the Cobb County Solicitor General. During his time with the Solicitor, he also served as the DUI Court Prosecutor.
Charges
The War on Drugs has been a societal disaster for our country. Enforcement of the Nation’s drug laws and imprisonment of the people takes up too much of the time and resources of our legal institutions. And do these laws do any good, or cause more crime and damage? But while attitudes towards responsible marijuana use for adults is slowly changing across the United States, it remains illegal in many states – including Georgia.
Tickets
Sometimes, a traffic tickets is just a minor annoyance that is easier to pay than fight. Other times, traffic tickets are far more serious because a person’s Georgia driving privileges are at stake. And, offenses in Georgia can have a bearing on out-of-state licensure as well.
Crimes
What’s a serious crime? Whatever it is your facing may be as serious as you care to contemplate. But the fact is, attorney Alan J. Levine represents clients facing the most serious of charges in our Georgia Superior Courts, as well as the Georgia Court of Appeals and the Georgia Supreme Court.
