DUI and Criminal Defense Attorney in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
When You’re Arrested in Gulf Breeze, Florida, What Are Your Options?
After an arrest, one of the primary questions people ask themselves is….
I have a court date coming up – what do I do?
Most people don’t know how the process works because they’ve never been arrested. If that describes your situation, here’s a quick rundown of what is going to happen.
Very soon, you’re going to end up in front of a judge and you have two options to consider for that date.
- Go with a Public Defender
- Enlist the services of a Criminal Defense Attorney at Law
For a few families in the Gulf Breeze area, a Public Defender might be the only option because in this economy, money is tight. That’s completely understandable.
However, this is probably not the wisest choice due to the fact that most public defenders are extremely overworked, lack the time to prepare your case in a professional manner, and very often will just take the best deal the prosecutor has to offer. The end result is probably not the best outcome for you.
Your other choice, hiring a professional… is the better choice.
