DUI and DWI 70%

I focus my strengths and energy, not just on fixing what is wrong with our DUI laws, including alcohol and drug based charges, but on establishing the strongest defense possible for all of my clients. This includes review and comparison of all available reports, notes, and videos with my clients' recollections, statements and actions. Applicable laws and decisions are then researched and used to either have my clients found not guilty or to get them the best possible result through negotiation.

Every criminal case, no matter how dire it may look at the outset, is approached with the goal finding that bright light that and revealing it to the prosecutor and the judge or jury.

Personal Injury 10%

When someone, company or individual, has injured you, immediate action must be taken to preserve evidence, minimize damages, and to ensure that they are fully compensated either through insurance proceeds or the perpetrator's pockets. We will make you whole again.

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

First DUI

Kelly did a great job handling my first (and only) DUI. He handled all my questions and made me feel very confident going into the process. Even with a BAC of over .24 he was able to plead me down from a DUI to impaired driving, just based on his reputation. I would recommend him without hesitatio...n.

Marijuana and Paraphernalia Possession

Though not a particularly high profile case for him, i'm sure, Kelly put a great deal of time and effort into my situation. He knew all of the details of my case very well (much better than I did) and had prepared many angles from which to defend it. In the end, my charges were dismissed and I can sl...eep much better at night. If it had not been for Mr. Cardon, I would have probably accepted the first plea offer given to me, which was terrible. I would have been stuck with a hefty fine, evaluations, and suspended driver's licence in addition to a possession conviction on my record. If you ever find yourself in my situation, God forbid, I would absolutely recommend hiring an experienced attorney such as Kelly Cardon.

Impaired Driving

Kelly Cardon was able to keep me from losing my license, which was very important to me. Staff was very professional and helpful to complete my obligations for the court. They made sure I appeared at the right place at the right time. Thanks again.
