Dublin DUI Defense Attorney
If you or a loved one has been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI/DWI), you need a lawyer who focuses on providing aggressive drunk driving defense, not someone to simply hold your hand and walk you through the process. Dublin DUI defense lawyer Terence D. Broughton provides a zealous defense for misdemeanor and felony DUI charges in all state courts and before the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Driving under the influence cases are complex and involve criminal charges in the courts and a civil administrative action before the DMV, two separate and independent actions. Terence D. Broughton will protect your interests in both proceedings.
