You need an attorney who knows his way around criminal court, where traffic tickets and criminal cases are heard. Our attorney regularly clears DMV holds by having the court release an abstract to the DMV, defends speeding tickets, first time DUIs, hit & run cases, and all other misdemeanors, whether petty theft, tresspass, solicitation, prostitution, urinating in public, deadly weapon, controlled substance, possession of marijuana, public intoxication, false imprisonment, and vandalism.
