This means that a second conviction within 10 years does not automatically mean you are guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. These are important distinctions that your attorney should know. We have the experience necessary to help you understand the charges and possible outcomes.
Your initial consultation is free if you are a potential client. We will take the time to look over your ticket and listen to your side of what happened. We will also take you through our DUI questionnaire. This will better enable us to understand your case and the possible holes in the prosecutions case.
