Reduction to Wet Reckless Driving
From jail time to driver’s license suspension, the consequences of a DUI charge can be severe and extensive.
These consequences can have a direct effect on your personal and professional life – but what if there is another option? By hiring an experienced Manatee County DUI attorney like the ones at Flynn Law, they may be able to assist you in having your DUI indictment reduced to a ‘Wet Reckless Driving’ offense.
While both are considered 2nd-degree misdemeanors, the punishment for reckless driving is more favorable than the alternative.
