Tybee Island Criminal Defense Attorney

Law Enforcement and Common Crimes

Tybee Island is a smaller community with nearly 3,000 residents but still experiences the crimes of larger cities. According to statistics, the city has a much higher than average employment of law enforcement personnel. The number of law enforcement in the city is disproportionally large to the civilian population. Because the crime rate in Tybee Island is lower than both the state and national averages, having too many law enforcement employees could mean officers eager to make arrests or give citations. You do have certain rights when you are charged with a crime and if they are violated by arresting officers, it is possible that the charges could be dropped. For example, some officers will forget to read individuals their Miranda Rights during an arrest.

The most frequent crime that occurs in Tybee Island is theft. In 2010, officials reported that Tybee had 108 crimes involving theft. In addition, as of 2011 there are currently two registered sex offenders living within the city. Despite the small population, crime in this beautiful beachside community does occur. If you have recently been charged with a crime it is important to get the legal help you need. During this stressful time you may feel embarrassed or anxious, you may not want others to know of your charges, and you are most likely stressed about what the future holds. Do not let your emotions or fear prevent you from speaking with an attorney immediately. The firm’s services are completely confidential and the legal team will work with you toward the best possible outcome.

Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

One too many drinks with friends at The Crab Shack or Tybee Time Sports Bar can definitely put you at risk for being pulled over for driving while intoxicated. The firm frequently helps individuals with charges associated to driving under the influence such as first time DUI, multiple DUI, and felony DUI. Our attorneys have assisted those with charges related to DUI for 40 years. They will aggressively defend your rights and take the time to keep you informed of your situation and court procedures. Schneider Lerch, LLC has been successful in challenging evidence such as field sobriety tests and breath & blood tests.

The legal team can offer you representation through the hearing and trial process as well as at the Department of Driver Services (DDS) hearing. Many people facing a DUI for the first time don't know that in order to retain your driving privileges you must attend a separate hearing with the DDS called the Administrative License Suspension hearing. There is only a 15-day window to schedule your hearing after you received a charge, but it is crucial to do so because this is where you can combat the one year automatic suspension. 

Schneider Lerch, LLC can help you with DDS hearings and so much more related to criminal defense. If you have any additional questions or would like to arrange a consultation please contact the firm.

    “Extremely Grateful for his Help”
    Before meeting with Mr. Schneider we felt completely lost with nowhere to turn, but after our first meeting he quickly put those feelings to rest. Mr. Schneider and his staff were extremely professional and made us feel like we were their only client. Without him, who knows where we would be today. Our family is extremely grateful for his help and expertise. We couldn’t thank you enough!
    Past Client
    “Went above and beyond”
    A “bad” mistake on our part could have put us in a very bad situation and could have also ruined our business reputation. He not only helped us clear our charges but his caring demeanor assured us we had the best attorney. We not only consider Cris as our family attorney, we now consider him a wonderful friend.
    Past Client
    “Extremely Professional”
    We would like to thank you for everything that you and your staff have done for our family. The situation we were faced with was something we could never have imagined and felt extremely lost with nowhere to turn. After our conversation and then meeting with you and Shannon for the first time, Matthew and I walked out of your office feeling 100% safe and confident that you would do everything in your power to give us the best chance in overcoming this unfortunate situation. You and your staff have gone above and beyond our expectations. You have Matthew a second chance to start over and allow him to continue with his studies and become an adult. I cannot say enough about your staff. Shannon, Carli, and Natalie, always made us feel like we were your only client. The attention that they gave us was something I would have never expected. They were always understanding, courteous, and very professional. I had to learn that this process takes time and your staff was always available to help me understand and to ensure our confidence. If anyone we know, is faced with a situation that you can help with, we will give your firm the highest recommendation possible. I can honestly say that Shannon, Carli, Natalie, and yourself are angels from heaven that were sent to us in our most desperate time of need. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts
