Criminal Defense

Criminal law defines any type of criminal case that falls under the following categories: drug crimes, DUI defense, reckless driving, juvenile crimes, sex crimes, violent crimes, and white-collar crimes. No matter what the specific crime is, the best thing that you can do is find a criminal defense lawyer that specializes in your specific criminal charges so that you can be represented and provided with valuable legal advice.

DUI Defense

Driving under the influence is a serious traffic offense that carries severe consequences for the driver as well as any victims that are involved. The penalties for a DUI may include jail time, driver’s license suspension, hefty fines, community service, and you may be required to complete an alcohol program or driving classes for DUI offenders. The intensity of these consequences increases for each subsequent DUI.
