Dependable Jonesboro Attorney Provides Comprehensive DUI Defense

Experienced DUI staff ready for all challenges
The staff at Lilly Law Firm, PA is skilled in defending against DUI (driving under the influence)/DWI (driving while intoxicated) charges. For more than 25 years, we've handled all types of DUI cases and we're prepared for any scenario. Our DUI/DWI lawyer knows the law and understands the tactics often used by law enforcement and prosecutors in DUI cases. We go the extra mile to resolve your case and mitigate any negative effects.

What should I expect when arrested for DUI and DWI?

When charged with DUI, you must face two separate cases:

An administrative case with the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration Office of Motor Vehicles
The criminal case for DUI or DWI

The window to schedule a hearing in the administrative case is short, so requesting a hearing is crucial to avoid automatic application of administrative license suspension. Our knowledgeable DUI defense attorney knows the rules and strategies to give you the best chance to keep your license. Call us immediately to discuss your case and find out if you still have time to request an administrative hearing.

What if I have multiple charges against me?

Sometimes the government stacks multiple charges to increase the odds of conviction. A DUI or DWI charge is often a preliminary tactic for the government to try to justify a search of your person or property. If this happens to you, you may find yourself in the city jail facing charges for one or more drug crimes in Jonesboro, in addition to the DUI or DWI. Our Jonesboro criminal defense attorney provides comprehensive representation for all your criminal charges.
