Aggressive Defense of Your Driving Privileges

In our modern world, so much of what we all do is dependent upon being able to go from one place to another easily in our vehicles. If you are arrested and charged with a DUI, this freedom and flexibility that you have behind the wheel can quickly become threatened.
