However, the penalties are substantial and require an experienced and skilled legal defense to represent your interest. Brittain Law has years of experience in white-collar legal defense.
Assault and Battery
Breaching the peace, disorderly conduct, domestic violence, assault chargesThe pain from an assault goes well past the physical damages caused by a stranger at a bar, or from injury by someone we love. It may cause lasting physical damages, loss of functions, and continued pain. Injuries may mean loss from work and medical expenses. A lawsuit may not fully compensate a victim for what they have lost, but a financial award can provide a large step forward towards recovery.
Driving Under Influence
A conviction for drunk driving can cause serious and life changing consequencesConvicted individuals face an automatic driver’s license suspension, a fine up to $1000, and a mandatory 48-hour prison sentence. In addition, residual effects, such as increases in automobile insurance, or loss of employment may occur. The seriousness of the crime may become quickly escalated if the charges include personal injury or wrongful death. Brittain Law has over three decades of experience in protecting the legal rights of clients following drunk driving charges.
