Stephen Lyle Hamilton

Stephen Hamilton, a Board Certified Criminal Defense Attorney with an AV rating, brings nearly 20 years of experience to his practice, specializing in DWI cases. Having tried over 100 jury trials, he is a recognized authority in the field and has authored a comprehensive DWI Survival Guide, a must-have for anyone facing a DWI arrest.

Hamilton’s expertise is backed by his membership in the National College for DUI Defense, where he began focusing on DWI cases in the early 2000s. He has dedicated hundreds of hours to continuing legal education, specifically addressing criminal law issues and DWI/DUI defense. As a sought-after speaker, he often lectures fellow lawyers on effective DWI trial strategies.

His commitment to his clients is evident in his personalized approach, ensuring each case receives meticulous attention. Hamilton’s passion for helping people in their time of stress is reflected in his extensive trial experience. Unlike many criminal lawyers, he tries more cases in a year than most do in a decade.
