Our Focus

Florida criminal law — including the law in DUI cases — is technical and sophisticated. The law always changes and involves harsh penalties that can ruin a person’s life or livelihood. That’s why it’s critical to choose an attorney who focuses his or her career in the given area of law. Shon Douctre is affordable and experienced. At Private Counsel, LLC, criminal charges, DUI and traffic tickets are the main focus of the practice.

We only fight for people accused of crimes, and our lawyers have proudly never worked on the side of the police or the prosecution to prosecute someone such as yourself. We take every action possible within the bounds of the law to make sure that your rights are protected from those prosecuting you.
