DUI Defense
DUI Defense Attorneys in Frankfort and Lawrenceburg
A DUI charge can affect your driving privileges, employment, and daily life. From our permanent Frankfort, KY and Lawrenceburg, KY offices, Johnson Branco Brennan & Collins, LLP represents people facing DUI charges in Franklin and Anderson Counties and throughout Kentucky. We review the circumstances of the stop, the evidence, and your legal options so you can make informed decisions about your defense.
DUI consultations are available through either of our permanent offices in Frankfort or Lawrenceburg.
Who will handle your DUI consultation?
Your DUI consultation will be handled by Patrick Brennan, Matthew Collins (Matt), Sara Jackson, or Collin Castillo.
During the consultation, the attorney will review your citation, court papers, and any license notices; talk through the circumstances of the stop; discuss your concerns about driving; explain possible next steps; and go over legal fees.
How do we evaluate a DUI case?
A careful defense begins with the facts. Depending on the case, we examine the reason for the traffic stop, officer observations, field sobriety testing, breath or blood test procedures, available recordings, and other relevant evidence. We assess whether legal or evidentiary issues may support a challenge and explain the options available in your circumstances. No particular result can be guaranteed.
Driving privileges after a DUI charge
Driving-privilege questions can be separate from the criminal charge. Bring any license, suspension, or court notices to your consultation so we can review your status and discuss any restrictions or lawful options that may apply. Tell us about work, caregiving, or other responsibilities affected by your ability to drive. Do not assume that you may continue driving after an arrest or suspension; the answer depends on your circumstances and the applicable requirements.
What consequences can a DUI carry?
A Kentucky DUI case may involve fines, jail time, license consequences, and treatment or education requirements. The potential consequences depend on factors such as prior offenses, the evidence, and any aggravating circumstances. Criminal proceedings and driving-privilege issues may involve different requirements. We can help you understand how those issues apply to your case.
Counsel for first-time and repeat charges
Whether this is your first charge or you have a prior DUI, the details matter. We review your record and the current allegations, discuss the prosecution's evidence, and advise you about potential defenses, negotiations, and trial. Our attorneys provide DUI representation through both of the firm's permanent offices.
What should I do after a DUI charge?
Keep your citation, release paperwork, and any notices about your license. Note your court dates and follow all court orders. Write down what you remember about the stop while the details are fresh, and preserve relevant documents or recordings for your attorney. Contact counsel promptly to discuss your case and any time-sensitive issues involving your driving privileges.
