Getting Pulled Over After Drinking
Blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror are rarely welcome. If you were drinking or using drugs prior to driving, you may feel sick with fear. A million things run through your mind. You may mentally cross your fingers, hoping you will emerge unscathed from this traffic stop. But in many cases, it’s not going to happen.
After field sobriety tests, you may be arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The experience of being handcuffed, the feeling when the cop reads your rights and places you into the back of his squad car, the breath test process, etc. is all mortifying for most people. When the police let you make a phone call, you may struggle to decide who to call because you don’t want your friends or family to know what has happened.

Your parents, children, neighbors, friends and others may eventually find out. You’ll be dealing with your own embarrassment. This is all common, but it is able to be managed.

Tony was great to deal with when I got a DUI. He was able to work with the prosecutor to get my charge reduced so I did not have any jail time or revoked license. I was very happy with his service - he texted all the time, I felt in the loop, and I could always reach out with questions. He was the best I've worked with.
If you want someone on your side then you should definitely call Tony Swartz. He helped dismiss a case when I thought there was definitely no way it could be. His price is also a good deal compared to other criminal lawyers. Tony provided the judge with a strong argument against the prosecutor. If you want a strong supporter for your case, call him. |
I appreciated his help on a weekend when I needed advice in the jail. I was arrested for DUI and he answered the phone without even knowing me after his normal hours. Thank you. |
