CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY REPRESENTING THOSE CHARGED WITH A SECOND, THIRD, OR FOURTH DUI OFFENSE
At the Fort Lauderdale Law Offices of Lawrence B. Wolk & Associates, Attorneys at Law, we represent individuals from Broward County and South Florida who have been arrested and charged with DUI, regardless of whether this is a first offense or there have been multiple convictions. Florida has some of the toughest DUI laws in the Union, and Broward, Dade, and Palm Beach judges are known to be heavy-handed when dealing with defendants who have prior convictions. However, the attorneys at Lawrence B. Wolk & Associates are committed to making sure that our clients receive a fair trial—prior convictions notwithstanding.
Attorneys Representing Clients with Prior DUI Convictions
Whether you were convicted on your prior DUI arrest or the charges were dropped, your criminal defense attorney probably advised you that the stakes increase with each subsequent DUI/DWI arrest. Furthermore, every time that you refuse to provide a breath or urine sample, your Florida driving privileges can be suspended for an increasing length of time. Whether this is your first DUI arrest, your second one with a prior conviction, or you have multiple past DUI convictions, it's imperative that you take your criminal defense seriously. Choosing a thorough and professional Florida DUI criminal defense attorney is the key to your continued liberty and the restoration of your driving privileges. Contact the Broward County criminal defense lawyers of Lawrence B. Wolk & Associates. Together, our team of attorneys can build an ironclad strategy to defend your rights in a Broward, Dade, or Palm Beach courthouse.
