The event will highlight critical insights of practice experts who handle possession, driving under the influence of drugs, and other drug-related cases and offenders. The purpose of the meeting is to disseminate information on current research to key stakeholders and to solicit their feedback on information and practice needs that may be applied to research portfolio development.

A nationally recognized lecturer and renowned author, he is widely recognized as one of the foremost DWI attorneys in the country, specializing in representing clients accused of DWI, vehicular homicides, and other criminal offenses.
