If This is Your First DUI Arrest
If you have been arrested for a DUI and have no previous experience with the criminal justice system, you probably have many questions that need answering. You may have been advised by friends that a DUI is not a big deal and that you can simply go in to court and plead guilty without much consequence.
Before you put your rights in jeopardy, contact an attorney. We offer a free and informative consultation with an experienced lawyer, so that you can learn more about your rights. A DUI conviction is a serious matter, because it can result in jail time and will likely result in a term of probation, restriction of your driving privileges and significant court fines. Perhaps most important is that a DUI conviction will result in a criminal record.
There are defenses available to DUI charges, and plea agreements that may result in a more favorable result in your case. Contact an attorney at our law office to learn more.
If This is Your Second, Third or Fourth DUI Arrest
If you have been charged for a repeat drunk driving offense, it is important to understand that your second experience with the criminal justice system will be markedly different from the first. Prosecutors and judges are very serious about drunk driving, and aggressively punish people convicted of a second, third or fourth DUI conviction.
If retained to handle your case, attorney Camille M. Hicks will negotiate directly with the prosecution to determine if a plea agreement is possible that will limit your exposure to adverse consequences. If a reasonable plea agreement is not available or you prefer to take your case to trial, Ms. Hicks is an experienced trial lawyer who has extensive experience in criminal trials.
Other Traffic Offenses
In addition to DUI, we handle all other traffic offenses, including careless driving, reckless driving, vehicular homicide, driving with a suspended license, fleeing a police officer and driving while impaired by illegal drugs or prescription drugs. If an officer stopped your car for a traffic violation and found drugs in the car, we can also handle any drug possession charges.
