DUI, Alcohol and/or Drugs
Do you know your legal rights? Most people do not when they are dealing with alcohol charges. If you’ve been arrested or charged with driving under the influence, you need a local DUI attorney who is knowledgeable and proficient. Don’t step into the courtroom without legal representation. Instead, allow our DUI and drug attorney to come to your aid. Mr. James Sweeney knows the law, the system, and the best way to argue your case.
Clearing Your Record
Even though your jail time is over, your probation is finished and the fines are paid, you still have a record that could hold you back from pursuing higher education, finding a job, renting an apartment, buying a home and doing other things that require a squeaky clean police record.
Whenever you are filling out a application you’ll be limited in your options when you have to disclose your history. However, if you’re able to get your records expunged you’ll no longer have to worry about getting passed over for the job or the house of your dreams because of a bad decision that you made years ago.
