Lake County DUI Lawyer
Protecting Your Rights ∙ Protecting Your Future
I understand that you are likely facing the criminal justice system for the first time due to a drunk driving charge, traffic violation, or other misdemeanor or felony charge. Criminal charges can result in serious consequences, including jail, fines, driver's license suspension and other sanctions. You could also lose your job, and jeopardize future career and educational goals.
"As a former Lake County prosecutor, I understand the law from both sides. As your defense attorney, I will zealously fight to minimize your consequences." — Merrillville criminal law lawyer Sam Berkman
Personalized Representation
At The Law Office of Sam Berkman, I provide comprehensive, personalized criminal defense representation for individuals facing misdemeanor and felony charges ranging from traffic violations to driving while intoxicated (DUI) charges. I understand that each case is unique, presenting different issues and challenges. Traffic violations and DUI charges can drastically increase your insurance costs and nullify your driving privileges.
I will discuss your charges, the strengths and weaknesses of your case, as well as potential penalties. After our thorough discussion, I will outline my strategy, so you are more comfortable with the legal process you will be facing. I am committed to protecting your rights at every stage of your case.
Proactive Defense Representation
Indiana law places strict sentencing guidelines on habitual offenses. My experience as both a former prosecutor and criminal defense attorney enables me to evaluate your situation from every angle to determine the best course of action. I understand the importance of obtaining the best possible outcome for a first offense, as well as minimizing the consequences of subsequent charges.
My proactive approach also includes taking immediate steps to protect your driving privileges. If you are facing a suspension, I will fight hard to help you keep your driver's license. When necessary, I can also help you obtain a restricted license to allow you to drive to and from school, work and home.
