DUI Penalty Legal Counsel
Just because you were arrested for DUI doesn't mean you have to be convicted for the offense. There are many individuals who are falsely accused, and there are also many DUI cases that are based on weak evidence. Sometimes law enforcement officers make mistakes during the arrest process, which can lead to a better chance of a case being dismissed.
