About Us
NextStepDUI is a team of experienced professionals who work together to responsibly
manage a DUI case. If you are just shopping lawyers, seeking a discount on professional
fees or looking for a quick fix, we are not the right fit for you. Credibility is the key to
our company’s success. We will not jeopardize our reputation or the reputations of the
team members we have assembled.
Founder
This innovative approach to responsibly and proactively managing a DUI case was
developed by Dr. Herbert L. Gilbert, a clinical psychologist and substance abuse therapist.
Dr. Gilbert’s professional background is in criminal psychology. The predominant part of his
practice over the past ten years has been working on DUI cases. He has written thousands
of substance abuse evaluations and has counseled even more individuals who have been
arrested for DUI. Dr. Gilbert has witnessed first-hand the vast increase in DUI arrests in the last few years. The uncertainty over what to do next that people experience after a DUI led him to develop his team approach for addressing this serious behavior.
Team
The team that Dr. Gilbert has assembled to manage a case comprises respected professionals who understand the value of being proactive following a DUI arrest. The professionals we work with to manage and support you throughout this entire process are all well established in the courts and/or at the Secretary of State's Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD). The team works together to develop a well-structured plan, and each member plays a role in helping you to help yourself in court or at the DAAD.
Costs
We understand the genuine concerns people have about the potential costs they may incur following a DUI. If you should become a client, we will try to make this experience as cost-effective as possible. The professionals we work with are leaders in their fields and must be compensated accordingly, but all costs will be presented up-front and there will be no hidden fees or charges. It is our experience that hiring the most qualified professionals from the beginning and taking a proactive approach following a DUI can be your best investment.
