Facing Multiple DUI Charges in ?

When the Stakes Are High, Call The Hanzel Law Firm.

For many people, DUI can be a one-time mistake. For others, however, we understand that an arrest for drunk driving could be just one aspect of an ongoing battle with alcohol or addiction. Though there may be other lifestyle factors that are involved in your case, prosecutors will typically treat these types of cases with very little sympathy or sensitivity. Police officers and prosecutors will often work together to pursue the harshest possible penalties, and in some cases, may escalate the offense to a felony level.

To combat the charges against you, it will be crucial to work with an aggressive DUI defense lawyer. Put our lawyer on your side of the courtroom by calling The Hanzel Law Firm at (843) 202-4714 today.

Have Questions About Your Case?

We Have Your Answers.

  • Questions

  • Are there defenses available in multiple DUI cases?

    Answer

    Keep in mind that every case is different and the factors involved with each case must be carefully considered when creating a defense strategy. This is especially true of cases involving multiple DUIs. We investigate every avenue of defense and create a persuasive defense that helps reduce or completely acquit the charges against you.

  • What steps should I take to protect my license?

    Answer

    We understand that your driving privileges are important – especially for people who rely on a license for job-related duties. Your first step should always be to speak with an attorney immediately. From there, you will need to act fast to request an administrative license hearing. Without action, your license could be automatically revoked or suspended.

  • Will cases involving high BAC levels be treated differently?

    Answer

    Most likely. In situations involving very high BAC levels (starting at .15% and higher), prosecutors will typically be more inclined to pursue even higher consequences as well as the enhanced penalties associated with multiple DUI charges. When the stakes are this high, it is crucial that you speak with a qualified defense attorney as soon as possible.

  • Why do I need to hire a defense lawyer?

    Answer

    There are numerous complex working parts in cases involving multiple DUIs. For this reason, you cannot simply choose just any attorney. To protect your future and freedom, you will need to work with a legal professional who understands the criminal and administrative issues involved in multiple DUIs. An attorney can help minimize the impact an arrest has on your driving record, but most importantly, your freedom and future.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Charges Reduced

    There may be a chance that you can get your charges reduced to a misdemeanor, depending upon various circumstances with what exactly happened. We investigate all avenues to determine if this is possible for you.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Plea Bargain

    Though prosecutors may be harsh, we utilize our skills to negotiate a lesser charge. We work hard to negotiate a deal that keeps you from spending time in jail or convince the court why your case deserves minimum penalties.

  • Possible Case Outcomes

    Charges Dismissed

    We represent every client with the full intent of helping them move forward from an arrest with the best possible outcome. Our defense strategy is focused on helping you walk out of a courtroom with a clean slate, if possible.
