Alaska DUI/OUI Defense Attorney

  • Fighting To Minimize Your DUI/OUI Penalties

Alaska’s complex and rigid criminal justice system applies harsh penalties for driving under the influence (DUI). I am attorney James A. Farr, and I can protect your rights and provide you with a strong defense if you were arrested for drunk driving, whether you are facing a misdemeanor or felony charge. I am a former Alaska state Magistrate with more than 25 years of criminal law experience in Alaska. I can tell you exactly what your charge means, and will fight to minimize the impact it will have on your life.

  • Drunk/Impaired Driving Defense Lawyer Serving All Alaska, including Anchorage, Palmer and the Mat-Su Valley, Seward, Kenai, Homer, Dutch Harbor, Kotzebue, and the Bush

Misdemeanor DUIs can quickly be enhanced to felony charges, depending on the circumstances of the case. For example, repeat DUI offenders may face felony DUI charges. Or, if the charge involved an accident and injury, a misdemeanor will be enhanced to a felony. To learn more about DUI laws in Alaska and how they apply to your specific situation, contact my firm as soon as possible.

You may be facing a wide range of penalties, including:

  • Loss of your driver’s license
  • A jail sentence
  • Substantial fines
  • A permanent criminal record
  • Increased auto insurance premiums

With my help, you may be able to avoid or reduce these consequences. I stay in frequent communication with my clients, making sure they know the status of their cases, and I  fight for the best possible results for my clients at all times.
