Driving under the influence is a crime unlike most others on the books. If you were arrested for a simple DUI, you probably didn't hurt anyone else or cause damage to any other person's property. Instead, you are being prosecuted for a crime based on what might have happened. Drinking and driving is reckless, but the fact that you were caught doesn't mean that you are a criminal.

Yet here you are, being faced with the prospect of losing your driver's license, being forced to pay enormous fines and possibly even being sent to jail. You could have to live into the future with a criminal record, which might prevent you from getting a good job or progressing in your career. Richard Duquette and his team understand how much is at stake for you, and they are ready to help.
