DUI / DWI Defense
Driving while under the influence of alcohol is illegal in every state in the United States. Each state has its own laws, including penalties and the blood alcohol content (BAC) levels that will not be tolerated. Zero tolerance laws in many states do not allow teenage drivers to have even a trace of detectable alcohol in their systems. A DUI or DWI charge can lead to the loss of a driver's license, jail time, fines, community service or a host of other consequences. Understanding the laws and penalties associated with drunk driving can help you to avoid a violation or to proceed accordingly if a violation has already been issued. Consult the Law Offices of Jessica A. Kulpit and you will find a wealth of information on drunk driving that will help you make informed decisions.

Criminal Defense
The field of criminal law enforces behavior codes laid out in both federal and state law. When a person breaks the rules set forth in the criminal or penal codes, he or she can be subject to discipline. Penalties for breaking criminal laws may include jail time, fines, community service, probation, or even death in some instances. However, criminal law also puts important safeguards in place for those accused of breaking the rules to ensure that only the guilty are punished for their actions, and that punishments fit the crime. We understand the workings of the system and are able to guide you through the processes of the court proceedings.
Traffic / DMV Law
Traffic laws set speed limits and impose various requirements meant to ensure the safety of every driver. These laws dictate when to yield and who to yield to, when a person can and cannot make turns, and how they must interact with fellow drivers. Traffic laws are enforced through various citations and tickets, as well as by the tallying of points on a driver's record that could result in the loss of their license if found to be a consistently negligent driver. Traffic laws may also apply to bikers and pedestrians who share the road with motor vehicles. The Law Offices of Jessica A. Kulpit are your experts for providing information on various traffic violations from speeding to parking, a guide to handling traffic tickets, and advice and representation on how to get a fair trial.
