It is strongly urged that you have an attorney from Gold & Witham represent you at this hearing.

The chances of this happening diminish if you are not represented by a seasoned negotiator such as the attorneys of Gold & Witham.
If you have had a prior DUI conviction, your case becomes even more serious. The penalties for a second, third, fourth or more conviction on drunk driving charges ramp up quickly. With a number of DUI convictions, eventually you will be charged with a felony DUI.
