Nothing can take the place of a free consultation with our firm.
A DUI case has become one of the most serious charges that can be brought against a law-abiding citizen. With society's tougher stance on the offense of Driving Under the Influence, the penalties have become increasingly severe with the passing of each year. Recently, our firm checked the number of amendments to the DUI Statute in the past 10 years. We found that the statute has been amended almost every year and sometimes multiple amendments have been filed in the same year. These constant changes make it difficult for the novice lawyer, or the lawyer who does not practice criminal law on a full time basis, to represent DUI defendants.
