DUI and Criminal Defense Lawyers

The penalties for DUI are severe, including jail time, fines and the loss of your driver’s license even on the first offense.

But there are many legal grounds for challenging a charge of Driving Under the Influence. Private Counsel, LLC of Orlando, Florida, has represented thousands of clients against drunk driving charges.

Founded by attorney Shon Douctre, Private Counsel, LLC provides DUI and criminal defense to clients in Orange County, Osceola County, and Seminole County. The firm represents clients charged with DUI and other traffic violations, and clients who are charged with federal crimes such as drugs, firearms, insider stock trading, Internet fraud, bank robbery and white collar crimes. Mr. Douctre is joined in practice by attorney Jill Hampton.

 Unique DUI Counsel
Shon Douctre is not only reputable and experienced, but a certified Breathalyzer operator and maintenance technician.  His in-depth knowledge of this commonly used field sobriety device – and its shortcomings — gives him a powerful advantage in defending DUI charges.

Mr. Douctre stays abreast of the latest developments in DUI laws, sentencing tendencies by area judges and decisions by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement regarding admissibility of Breathalyzer results in court.

Private Counsel, LLC knows how to use the facts of your arrest to your advantage.  Although they have helped many clients get DUI charges reduced or dismissed, at a minimum they can usually improve your position and lessen the consequences of a conviction, including partial reinstatement of driving privileges.

Jill Hampton, a third-generation Floridian, is a member of the Florida Bar and is admitted to practice before all federal, state (circuit), and county courts within the State of Florida. Jill's practice areas include DUI defense, criminal law, civil litigation, and administrative law.

Fees
For DUI and criminal cases, Private Counsel, LLC typically charges a flat fee that depends on your goals (not based on the evidence against you).  Civil and administrative cases (such as driver’s license reinstatement) can be negotiated as a flat fee or hourly fee.
