Although not required by law, it is imperative that you hire an attorney to defend you if you find yourself charged with a DUI.

Personal Injury
When you have been injured as the result of someone else’s negligence you are entitled to compensation for your injuries including medical treatment expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Often insurance companies do not provide injured parties with appropriate compensation for their injuries. The Carroll Law Firm will make every effort to obtain full compensation for your injuries. Firm owner, Jim Carroll, has assisted many injured parties over the years with their personal injury claims and has obtained compensation from thousands of dollars to millions of dollars in some of the more high profile cases that he has handled. He has tried numerous cases in both State and Federal Courts and is an experienced litigator. If the firm agrees to provide you with representation in a personal injury matter, normally the Firm will provide representation on a contingent fee basis, which means that the Firm’s fee will be based on a percentage of the client’s recovery, and the client does not pay a fee unless there is a recovery. If you have been injured as the result of another person’s negligence call The Carroll Law Firm for a consultation.
