If you are currently facing driving under the influence (DUI) charges, you need expert legal representation on your side. While the penalties for drunk driving may include incarceration, fines, and the loss of driving privileges, the repercussions can last long after your sentence has been completed.

He has the legal know how to develop a solid defense strategy in order to minimize your risk of serving a harsh sentence.

Mr. Barone has authored two books on the topic of DUI defense--the highly-regarded Defending Drinking Drivers and The DUI Book: A Citizens Guide to Understanding DUI Litigation in America.

He also writes a monthly column on DUI defense for the Criminal Defense Newsletter.

Mr. Barone shares his knowledge of DUI defense as an adjunct professor at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School. He also teaches trial skills training to criminal defense attorneys as a faculty member of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan’s Trial Lawyers College.

Mr. Barone has been invited to speak on various DUI topics at lectures across the country. Television, newspapers, and radio stations often contact him to share his opinion as a DUI defense expert.

In order to be a successful DUI defense attorney, it is important to understand how police officers are trained on the subject. Mr. Barone has completed his NHTSA certification as a practitioner and instructor of the Standardized Field Sobriety Tests—the same training that law enforcement agents undergo. He is also certified by National Patent Analytical Corporation as competent to operate as well as perform calibration checks and diagnostic evaluations on the DataMaster breathalyzer device.
