First Time DUI

The first time you are arrested for a DUI can be terrifying. You don’t know what to expect, you fear for your future, and you are upset because you do not want to have a criminal record. You made a mistake that you would most likely not make again and you are afraid you will have to pay for it for the long-term.

If that has happened to you or you were, in fact, drinking prior to driving your vehicle, you need a competent Kentucky criminal lawyer by your side every step of the way.
