Being Arested

Make no mistake. When you have been arrested and charged with a felony, your reputation, your livelihood and your freedom are on the line. You need a lawyer to advise you of your rights and defend your best interests in the upcoming criminal prosecution.
Whether you yourself have been arrested for DUI or you’re helping a loved one or friend, it is extremely important to access as much helpful legal information as possible. Fully understanding your legal rights and how to successfully defend against a DUI is extremely important. Vako Law & Associates has years of experience successfully handling DUI trials and statutory summary suspension hearings to help our clients keep their driving privileges and save their reputation. We are familiar with the common lapses that take place in arrest procedures as well as breath and chemical testing errors.

Defending a FELONY

In many cases, we are able to negotiate with prosecutors to reduce the severity of the charges or eliminate counts of the indictment even before the trial begins. At the pretrial hearing and throughout the trial process, we are able to file motions to protect your substantive and procedural rights as a criminal defendant. During trial, we present the evidence and argue your case before a judge and/or a jury. If convicted, we can try to persuade a judge to enter a conviction for a lower degree of the offense or to commute a sentence by imposing probation. In addition, if you are acquitted of the charges against you, we can get the record of your arrest expunged (erased) so that the arrest will not affect your credit or your employment prospects.
