Taking The Right Steps To Address Fake ID Charges

Popular culture often portrays getting a fake ID as a rite of passage for American youth. Unfortunately, movies and TV shows rarely show the consequences. You could lose your driving privileges and face jail time in addition to the threat of considerable fines. If you have been caught with a fake ID, you need skilled criminal defense counsel to ensure your rights are protected.

Barnett has more than 34 years of experience defending clients, and he can confidentially lead you through your options toward a favorable outcome instead of a worst-case scenario.
