Our DUI attorneys recognize that people from all walks of life and socio-economic backgrounds get arrested for alcohol and marijuana DUI. We are prepared to represent you whether you have been arrested for the first time, or you have been charged with a felony DUI offense because of having three or more prior DUI convictions.
