Are you looking for your dui defense lawyer in Louisville and Shepherdsville? I can’t tell you how many first DUI clients thought they would just try to represent themselves or go with a public defender. With best intentions, they walk into court, see how the other people are being treated and think to themselves “I really need a good attorney.”
You are not going to have an opportunity to explain your circumstances or challenge what happened. You are going to be strongly encouraged to plead guilty to the initial charges, without the opportunity to have the charges reduced or dropped altogether.
My name is John Schmidt and as a DUI defense lawyer in Louisville and Shepherdsville with almost 25 years of experience I can tell you that just walking in and representing yourself is not going to achieve a good outcome. I aggressively fight all fines, costs and other cash that would otherwise leave your pocket. We will examine every aspect of the stop, testing and arrest. There are a lot of mistakes made at DUI stops throughout Kentucky. In one of our cases, the credentials of the testing officer had been expired for months. Case dismissed!
We’ll discuss reasons for prosecutors to consider a reduction in costs, fines and other aspects of the DUI. If this is your first DUI within the past 10 years you are facing a 6 month license suspension, a 90 day alcohol or substance abuse program, service fees of $375, a fine of $200 to $500 and between 48 hours to thirty days in jail. There is a lot we can do to help your unique situation and to work to achieve a much better resolution than you might on your own.
It doesn’t cost anything for you to call an experienced DUI defense lawyer in Louisville and Shepherdsville for a free consultation at (502) 509-1490. There is a lot we can do to reduce the impact of this DUI on your life and work. Our goal is to protect your rights, lessen the penalties you may face, or better yet, seek an acquittal.
Ask me if you qualify for the DUI Diversion Program. This can substantially reduce the consequences you face and, when successful, the DUI case is ultimate dismissed with a stipulation of probable cause and an understanding that the case cannot be expunged for at least two years from the date of dismissal.
