Okaloosa County Criminal Defense and DUI Lawyer
When Arrested in Okaloosa County Florida, What Are Your Options?
The most common question people ask themselves when they get arrested in Okaloosa County is….
What are you going to do as your court date approaches?
Most people don’t know how the process works because they’ve never been arrested. If this sounds like you, here is the serious thing you’ll be facing in the very near future.
At some point, you’ll be in front of a judge and you’ll need to know which of these two options you’ll choose.
- Make use of a Public Defender
- Retain a Criminal Defense Attorney
For a lot of people arrested for DUI or other Criminal Offense in Okaloosa County, a Public Defender is the only option because money is tight. I understand that.
But that might not be the best option because public defenders are overworked, they lack the time to prepare your case in a professional manner, and many times will just take the best deal the prosecutor has to offer.
The other option, hiring a pro, is a better choice.
