Criminal Defense
I defend clients charged with various felonies and misdemeanors, including white-collar crimes such as fraud, violent crimes such as aggravated assault and felony murder, traffic offenses such as OVI/DUI. I can also assist you with expungement of a criminal record or any other post conviction remedy.
- OVI/DUI Defense – OVI (also called DUI or OMVI) charges are both urgent and complicated, especially if you need to keep your commercial driver’s license (CDL). If your license has been suspended, you must request a license hearing within 30 days of your arraignment or your driver’s license (including your CDL if you have one) may remain suspended for up to five years. I also represent clients with multiple OVI offenses.
- Aggravated Vehicular Assault/Aggravated Vehicular Homicide – If you are driving drunk and cause an accident that results in serious bodily injury to another person, you can be charged with aggravated vehicular assault. If there is a death, you face aggravated vehicular homicide charges. A conviction on either charge can have very serious ramifications, including mandatory prison time and permanent revocation of your driver’s license.
- Driver’s License Suspension – No matter why your driver’s license has been suspended, it is important to get a lawyer’s help and have your license reinstated as soon as you are eligible. If you are arrested for driving with a suspended license, you risk going to jail for an extended period.
- Commercial Driver’s License Suspensions – If you have a suspended CDL for drunk driving or other traffic offense, your driving privileges and livelihood are at stake. Take action early on. There are strategies that can be used to fight your CDL suspension.
- Drug Possession and Paraphernalia – From traffic stops to home searches, possession of illegal drugs and related paraphernalia carry serious consequences, including losing your license. You have rights, Robert E. Calesaric Attorney at Law will protect them.
