Aggressive DUI Representation Founded on Scientific Study
DUI charges can have a major impact on your life – that’s why it’s important to secure an aggressive defense on your behalf. While many firms will tout their years of experience to potential clients, it takes more than that to win a case. At Brehmer Law Corporation, we proudly distinguish ourselves from other firms with a background firmly rooted in scientific research and hands-on laboratory work.
What can a lawyer with a background in science do for me?
Proving blood alcohol content and other factors in a DUI case relies largely on scientific processes. From breath tests to blood tests, your guilt or innocence will hinge on a number of procedures that the average attorney has only a small understanding of. Fortunately for you, Attorney Brehmer is not your average attorney.

Mr. Brehmer made all the difference in my case
I went out with my friends and believed I'd done everything right. No more than one drink per hour for about 4 hours. When I was arrested for DUI I was devastated. I assumed if I was arrested I must have been guilty. Mr Brehmer's office discovered that the test they used was expired and therefore not...
