Charged with Second DUI, Client Found Not Guilty

One of our recent clients is 28-years-old, and veteran of the war in Iraq. He was found passed out behind the wheel at a traffic light in Kissimmee, Florida, with his car still in gear. The Kissimmee police were unable to awaken him, and called EMTs to assist.

When the client awoke, he stated he had been drinking with his friends, and had consumed seven beers. While on the stand in court, the client admitted he had a prior DUI and a prescription for oxycontin. Because this was the client's second DUI offense, he was facing nine months in Osceola county jail if convicted. After a grueling half hour of deliberations, the jury came back with a not guilty verdict exonerating our client.

Because a conviction for a DUI can have severe consequences, you need an attorney who will work with you to get you through this troubling time. If you have been charged with a DUI in the Orange County or Orlando area, or anywhere else in the state of Florida, please contact the Umansky Law Firm for an initial consultation.
