Minimize Your Penalties and Protect Your Rights
Criminal matters always begin with an investigation. Even before you are charged, prosecutors and law enforcement officials will usually have significant evidence they intend to use against you in court. It is important that an attorney is involved in your case as soon as possible to protect your rights throughout the legal process. We will investigate all angles and work with you to defend your interests.
Penalties and Jail Time
Jail time is always a possibility in misdemeanor cases, especially where:
- You blew a high blood alcohol content on a DUI
- You were driving 100 mph or accused of reckless endangerment
- You were charged with a DUI without a license
- You have multiple "no permit" offenses
- You were accused of domestic violence
- You have prior convictions
- You were charged with a probation violation
When charged with a serious offense, it is important to protect your rights and to prevent jail time. Suspension of your license is statutory for many offenses, but we make sure you understand all of your rights and options.
