    My charge got lowered to reckless driving
    I had been charged with a DUI and got pulled over for going over the speed limit. I didn’t blow. I didn’t let them take blood, and the services that Alex King provided were exemplary of what a great lawyer would do for a tough situation. My charge got lowered to reckless driving and 50 hours community service and six months probation. Honestly, for not having a DUI on my record, that is worth every penny I paid Mr. King. There should be more people like this in the world.
    Alex and his team are amazing!
    Alex and his team are amazing! Navigating a DUI is tricky, and you need to be timely. Mr. King was on the phone with me almost immediately after I was released from jail and answered all of my questions. After hired, his team got in touch with me ASAP and got to work right away to ensure I was able to obtain my hardship license. They have everything organized and ready to go in easy-to-follow messages and documents. I was able to provide them everything they needed for a successful resolution to my case by humanizing me in front of the judge to better understand me as a person and defend my character. They were able to get my charge reduced to reckless driving. I did not have to appear in court—Mr. King went on my behalf. I’m now finished with my probation (early term) and in the process of getting this sealed off my record with their help. I appreciate everything they have done for me. I would absolutely recommend him and his team. I worked with Whitney in the beginning, and she was wonderful. I am working with Teresa now, and she is also wonderful. Mr. King is very good at explaining all of your options and ensuring you feel that you’ve made an educated choice that is right for you. No pressure either way—just full guidance and support.
    Judge Dismisses All Charges
    I was arrested for DUI on July 4th. I was neither drunk nor stoned; however, the arresting officer was convinced I was. As a result, I hired First Coast Criminal Defense. They did an amazing job, and we never had to go to trial. My drug test came back negative for all but THC. I have a medical marijuana card. The judge dismissed all charges thanks to the efforts of my attorney. I can’t thank them enough.
