We know pleading guilty is not something you expect when you hire a lawyer, but sometimes clients want to manage risk in a case.  

American Idol contestant Caleb Kennedy's might have made this decision.

According to this REPORT, Kennedy has been sentenced to prison on a DUI charge in connection with a car crash that killed a South Carolina man nearly three years ago. He was sentenced to 25 years in prison and a $25,100 fine, but the sentence was reduced to eight years in prison and a $15,100 fine. Kennedy will also face five years of probation and be subject to random drug testing and mental health counseling.

Each case is unique and hiring a lawyer can be a good strategy to reduce the sentence in a difficult case. So if you are being charged with a DUI in Virginia or DC call us now.
