DUI

While you’re not required to hire an attorney for a traffic ticket, having a lawyer can help you avoid points on your license, prevent insurance rate increases, and in many cases get the ticket dismissed or reduced. At The Law Office of James P. Kelly, we handle everything for you — including appearing in court on your behalf so you don’t have to miss work.

If you’ve been arrested, exercise your right to remain silent and contact a criminal defense attorney immediately. Don’t answer questions or make statements to police without your lawyer present. Call The Law Office of James P. Kelly — when you call, you speak directly with an attorney, not a receptionist.

Attorney fees vary depending on the type and complexity of your case. We offer free consultations to evaluate your situation and provide transparent pricing upfront. We also offer flexible payment plans so that quality legal representation is accessible regardless of your financial situation.

After a DUI arrest in Florida, your license is immediately suspended — but you have only 10 days from the date of your arrest to request a formal review hearing with the DHSMV to challenge that suspension. If you miss this deadline, the suspension becomes automatic, and you lose your right to contest it. This administrative process is separate from your criminal DUI case. Contact a DUI defense attorney immediately after arrest to protect your driving privileges.

When you call our office, you speak directly with Attorney James P. Kelly — not a call center or front desk. We believe in accessible, personal communication throughout your case. Our focused practice in criminal defense and traffic law in Central Florida means we know the local courts, judges, and prosecutors, giving you a real advantage.

Yes. We offer free, confidential consultations for criminal defense and traffic ticket cases. During your consultation, Attorney Kelly will review the details of your case, explain your legal options, and give you an honest assessment of what to expect — with no obligation.
