What are the Consequences of a First Offense DUI in Monroe?

If convicted of a first offense DUI in Monroe, you might face penalties such as fines, a suspended driver’s license, community service, and probation. It’s critical to understand that while these penalties are standard, the actual outcome can vary based on case specifics and representation.

"Very professional and friendly"
My experience with Mr. Crawford and his staff was excellent. After an incorrect speeding ticket was issued, he ensured a very favorable result for my case, while working with my busy schedule and alerting me of rescheduled dates and times. Very professional and friendly overall handled my case in a timely manner with little to no involvement required on my part; will (and have) recommended his practice to family and friends in need.

"Extremely competent and capable attorneys."
David communicates well, delivers information concisely, explains things accurately and is straight forward. I have dealt with both David and Eric Crawford and both are extremely competent and capable attorneys. Highly Recommend!

"He is definitely a man of the people."
Mr. Boyle did a great job representing me for my DUI case. Even though the outcome was not what I fully expected it was no fault of Mr. Boyle. I blame the inexperienced and crooked policing of Monroe Georgia. Mr. Boyle was trustworthy and always answered any question I had. He also was able to work with me regarding my payment of his service. That is something I very grateful for. He is definitely a man of the people.

- A Satisfied Client
"My case was resolved in less than 40 days."
I could not have asked for a better result than what you achieved for my teenage son. We were staring at license suspension, high fines, crazy insurance rates. My case was resolved in less than 40 days and after some well-deserved community service for my son, there will be no record of this high expense charge. While this was a gigantic break for me financially, my son was still painfully aware of what he was facing. A priceless lesson at a low cost. Thank you!!

- John
"The Best Lawyer"
Mr Eric Crawford is a man of his word. He said he would make everything ok in the end.He did all he said he would do to help my sister and I. He listened to our case and told us he would do all he had to do. He was there by our side the whole time and i thank him a million times for what he did for us, i would really recommend him to anyone thats looking for the best family lawyer around. Again Mr.Crawford thank you so much.

- Former Client
"Ms. Armstrong was able to get the very best outcome for me as she said she would do. Excellent firm!"
I hired Ms. Armstrong as my lawyer to represent me in court. She was very personable and made me feel very at ease. She was confident in what she could do for me. Her and the entire staff in this office were very attentive and responded quickly to all my emails and concerns.She was able to get the very best outcome for me as she said she would do. Excellent firm!

- Former Client
"A very succinct and clear response."
Mr. Boyle reviewed my past criminal case information and advised me on my rights to own a firearm in regards to state and federal laws with a very succinct and clear response.

- A Satisfied Client
"I do not know what to say other than what an amazing experience."
Mr. Boyle took my call, we have never met and he spent his valuable time listening to my legal issues. After patiently considering what I had told him, he gave me multiple options and some very sound legal advice. He also gave the names of a couple of attorneys that were better suited to handle my civil case, since his practice was more focused on criminal law.
Mr. Boyle then refused my offer to pay his firm for this valuable consultation over the phone.
I do not know what to say other than what an amazing experience. He is a credit to the legal profession.
