Whether you’re facing DUI charges, drug possession, or a federal offense, John B Donnes explains how to avoid being railroaded by a system that doesn’t exactly hand out second chances. It’s about understanding your rights, making informed decisions, and showing up prepared—so you can walk out with your dignity (and maybe even your license) intact.
