Facing a criminal charge is a frightening and frustrating ordeal for anyone. An arrest, or a misdemeanor or felony conviction, carries serious consequences. This may include embarrassment, effects on family relationships, loss of a job, a criminal record, large fines, house arrest, or worse - going to jail. A conviction for drunk driving (DUI/DWI) can also result in suspension or revocation of a driver's license. You need an experienced criminal defense attorney to protect you, and to fight for you.
