Additional Family Matters

Sometimes a night out on the town or an argument that becomes a bit too heated can lead to an unexpected arrest and nightmare scenario of driver's license suspension, criminal prosecution and even extended incarceration.

At Hollingsworth & Zivitz, in addition to the white glove treatment we give our family law clients, our attorneys often offer immediate legal help to individuals involved in the criminal justice system. We can help you at any stage of the process, from the initial investigation, to reducing bond, through trial by jury. We also protect the rights of clients who are under investigation by state or federal authorities.

Our attorneys understand the importance of developing relationships with federal and state prosecutors and law enforcement in criminal cases. Through these relationships, we can often facilitate negotiations on our clients' behalf. Nevertheless, if negotiation or settlement is not an option, we have extensive experience in litigating criminal bench and jury trials, as well as civil hardship license and asset forfeiture matters.

While general information is available, you need specific advice

The information in our DUI and Criminal Defense section will provide you with some very basic information and help answer some frequently asked questions, but the information on this website is not legal advice and is not meant to be a substitution for seeking the advice of competent legal counsel. Your issues are different from the issues of other DUI and Criminal matters. Your case is unique and you need legal advice that is specifically tailored to fit your needs. Our team is here to provide you with the advice you need to make decisions that will have a lasting impact on your life.
