• Charles McQuair: Chances are, you have never been charged with a crime before. Whether you have been charged with a felony or just a misdemeanor, you now face a process that carries with it the possibility of real and permanent consequences. Criminal defendants often do not know how serious their own situation is. You should know that whatever the charge is, it is serious and needs to be addressed. A conviction for even a minor charge can lead to jail time, fines, or both. And your conviction will become part of a criminal record that can cost you employment and financial opportunities in future. Now, as never before, you need to fight to protect your rights, and you need a skilled criminal defense attorney who will stand up for you. If you have been cited for DUI/DWI, you should know that the law gives serious consequences upon conviction. And these punishments are even more severe for repeat offenders. A DUI sentence may require you to pay a substantial fine, serve some time in jail, or both. In addition to any fines or jail time, your drivers license may be suspended, even if it is your first offense. You will have to find alternate transportation and go through considerable effort to regain your driving privileges. To add insult to injury, many insurance companies will drop your motor vehicle coverage if you get a DUI. The companies that will insure you will only do so at a greatly increased premium. It is easy to see how important it is to protect your rights and to do that, you need a lawyer who will work to stop these consequences from becoming reality.
