Criminal Defense and DUI Lawyer in Santa Rosa County.
In Santa Rosa County Florida, What Options Do You Have After Being Arrested?
On the primary questions many people have when they get arrested in Santa Rosa County is…
What do you need to do as your court date nears?
The majority of people have never been in these circumstances and don’t know where to begin. If this sounds like you, here is what is going to happen.
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.
- Rely upon a Public Defender
- Retain the services of a Criminal Defense Lawyer
For a lot of people arrested in Santa Rosa County for DUI or other criminal offense, a Public Defender is the only option because money is tight. And I understand that.
But that might not be the best option because public defenders are overworked, don’t have the time to prepare a professional defense, and in a lot of cases, will accept the first deal offered by the prosecutor… even if it’s not in your best interests.
The other option, hiring a pro…. is a better choice.
