DUI’s:
The conviction for a DUI often prohibits employment in certain occupations and denial of occupational licensing. Depending upon the degree of your charge, penalties may include imprisonment, driver’s license suspension, permanent revocation of driver’s license, probation, UA testing, DUI classes, community service, and other penalties associated with misdemeanor or felony convictions.
FSU, FAMU & TCC Students: if you have been charged with a crime while enrolled in FSU, FAMU or TCC, you could face registration holds, suspensions, and possible expulsion. Campus administrative hearings are often scheduled prior to your criminal case being resolved. This could greatly impact or delay your academic progress. Mr. Cherry can assist in preparation for administrative hearings and possibly postpone administrative hearings until your criminal case has been resolved.
Record expunction or sealing: contact our office to confirm if you are eligible to have your criminal record expunged completely or sealed from the view of potential future employers.
What to expect: upon signing a contract with our office, we will file paperwork with the clerk of court notifying our representation. All correspondence relating to your case will come directly to our office, and will be copied to you. Mr. Cherry will research your case and work closely with you to achieve the best possible result.
