Specialized DUI Training

Attorney Hoover served as the Judicial Law Clerk to The Honorable John A. Boccabella of the Berks County Court of Common Pleas and conducted extensive research on Pennsylvania DUI laws and drafted countless judicial opinions. This earned him a deep understanding of Pennsylvania DUI law and most importantly how judges view the evidence in a case.

Attorney Hoover frequently attends intensive, advanced DUI training seminars and has become an expert in the laws, procedures, biological aspects, and the forensic science related to DUI cases.  Not only does he have the knowledge required, but he is also adept at explaining the highly technical aspects of his case in a way judges and jurors can understand.  These skills have helped him win many tough cases that other lawyers would have plead guilty to without a fight.

Harrisburg DUI Lawyer earns Field Sobriety Assessment<br /> certificationRecently, Attorney Hoover earned certification in Forensic Sobriety Assessment (FSA).  FSA has a rigorous criteria in which DUI lawyers must pass a series of modules that cover highly scientific areas such as:

  • The lack of meaningful scientific literature on indications of intoxication such as red eyes and slurred speech
  • NHTSA’s Standardized Field Sobriety Tests (SFSTs)
  • Testing concepts: Reliability and validity
  • Diagnostic statistics: False positive rates, sensitivity, specificity, etc.
  • Experimental design issues relevant to sobriety test studies
  • Statistical concepts such as correlation, statistical significance, and effect size
  • Visual science pertaining to the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) sobriety test
  • The scientific literature on sobriety tests other than the SFSTs

This certification certifies that Attorney Hoover has demonstrated a high level of expertise in the science and forensic use of roadside sobriety testing and evaluation of intoxication far beyond the scope of NHTSA.  Very few Pennsylvania DUI lawyers have the requisite knowledge to needed defend DUI cases based on forensic sobriety and we are proud to have a foremost expert like Attorney Hoover on our team at The McShane Firm.
