Bill Arnau

I’m criminal defense attorney Bill Arnau, protecting the rights of those arrested in Volusia County. Call me today, and I will immediately build a strategic plan to fight for the best outcome of your case. 386-384-GOTU What’s Happening: You’ve been taken to the Branch Jail, probably saw a judge and likely posted bond. If your license was valid when you were arrested, you’re driving for business purposes only for 10 days following your arrest. But now the clock is ticking. Action must be taken within 10 days of your arrest to allow you to keep driving. Our Plan: First, I will work with the Florida DHSMV to challenge the suspension of your license or help you get a hardship license, if you are eligible. To do this, we must act within 10 days of your arrest. If you miss this 10-day window you won’t drive again for at least 30 to 90 days. Don’t waste a single day, call me now! Once we’ve secured your ability to drive, we will review the evidence and attack the criminal case against you. What’s Happening: Local law enforcement responded to a report of a domestic incident involving you and a family member and you were arrested. You saw a judge and likely were told you can have no contact with the alleged victim, and in many cases, you were prohibited from returning to your own home. You are now living in a hotel or staying with friends with no idea what to do next. Our Plan: Moving quickly is key in these situations. To begin prosecution in Florida, the State must file a document called an “Information.” Call me immediately after your arrest and I will work to have the case against you dismissed before an Information is filed. I will also file a motion asking the court to lift the "No Contact" order, provided the alleged victim desires contact with you. If a charge has been filed, we will explore your defenses and work quickly to bring about a favorable resolution.
