    Successfully got it reduced to a parking ticket
    Alex handled my bogus traffic violation on the infamous Rt 17 in perfect fashion. After an initial phone call and payment, the next time I heard from Alex was after he had already gone to court on my behalf and successfully got it reduced to a parking ticket. I didn't have to do a thing. Well worth the money compared to 5 years of jacked insurance premiums.

    Frequently Asked Questions
    • What should I do immediately after a first offense DUI arrest?
      After a DUI arrest, it's important to cooperate with law enforcement. Contact an attorney as soon as possible to discuss your case. Document any details you recall about the arrest and the events leading up to it. Attend all scheduled court appearances and complete any required testing promptly.
    • Will I lose my license after a first offense DUI?
      License suspension is a common consequence of a first offense DUI. The duration can vary by state, typically ranging from a few months to a year. In some cases, you may be eligible for a restricted license, allowing limited driving privileges.
    • Can I refuse a breathalyzer test on a first offense DUI?
      Refusing a breathalyzer test can have legal consequences, such as an automatic license suspension and increased penalties. Most states have implied consent laws, meaning that by driving, you've agreed to such tests. Consulting with an attorney can help you understand your rights and the implications of refusal.
    • How will a first offense DUI affect my insurance?
      A first offense DUI usually leads to higher insurance premiums due to increased risk. Insurance companies may require you to file an SR-22 form, which provides proof of insurance coverage. This increase can last for several years, depending on your insurer and state laws.
