St. Patrick’s Day is tomorrow, and although bars and restaurants may be much less packed than normal because of the coronavirus, you can bet that there will still be plenty of people ringing in the holiday with spirits. Be smart at your social gatherings and make sure you don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking, because police will be out in full force looking for drunk drivers. We also tend to get an uptick in calls on St. Patrick’s Day or the day after, and we tell everyone who calls about our free case review. We’re going to explain more about this free session in today’s blog as well.
Free DUI Case Review
While our free DUI case review is not unique to St. Patrick’s Day DUI arrests, we tend to do more of them in the coming days and weeks. They also aren’t unique to DUIs, as we offer them to any potential client who has been charged with a criminal offense or citation.
We offer this free case review in person or over the phone depending on your personal circumstances. During this meeting, we’ll hear your version of the events and go over the charges you’re facing. You need to be as open and honest with us as possible during this meeting, because it helps us plan a defense. Once we hear you side of things, we’ll answer any questions you might have and then walk your through the next steps as we see the case playing out.
We won’t provide a deep dive on everything we would do if we were your lawyer because we need time to sift through the arrest report, police accounts, witness statements and any video evidence, but we can explain in short how these types of cases may play out and what we would do if we were in your situation. We’re also evaluating whether it would make sense for both parties to move forward with representation, and we’ve told clients how to fight the charges on their own when it wouldn’t make financial sense to hire a lawyer. We want this to be a partnership that is beneficial for both sides.
However, if you’re facing stiff potential penalties because of your DUI or other criminal charges, we may advise that your best option is to move forward with a lawyer in your corner. We’d love to take you on as a client, but there’s no obligation on your end to leave this meeting with us as your legal team. You’re free to seek other options, and while we want to represent you in court, we know that pressuring people into making a decision on the spot can get the relationship off on the wrong foot. Many clients hire us before they leave this meeting, but you don’t have to. We’re just here to help you make the best decision for you and your family.
So if you end up in legal trouble after St. Patrick’s Day and you live in the greater Twin Cities area, pick up the phone and give Appelman Law Firm a call today at (952) 224-2277 today to set up this free strategy session and see how you can end up in a better place with a defender like Avery by your side.
