1. What is the name of the person who will actually be working with me? Many attorneys will take a case with the intension of then giving the case to a junior associate that you've never met and might not like. If Casey will be working with another attorney, you will get the opportunity to talk to that attorney also.
2. What are Casey's credentials? Casey prosecuted and defended hundreds of DUI cases, many resulting in jury trial verdicts. Casey is a Board Certified Criminal Trial Attorney as well as an expert in DUIs.
3. Does Casey have experience in DUIs like mine? Casey has defended DUIs for clients for over 20 years and is a former DUI Prosecutor. Casey is extremely familiar with the Florida State DUI laws. He will listen to your situation and plainly explain how the law applies and what needs to be done.
4. What is the cost of Casey defending your case? Since the consequences of a DUI conviction are financially and emotionally expensive getting a good defense is important.
