Broward DUI Defense Attorney Carlos Canet was recently quoted in the Sun Sentinel in relation to his representation of WMEN-640 Sports Radio Host Sid Rosenberg.
A mistake on the docket had indicated that Rosenberg would be pleading guilty to a DUI charge pending against him. As it now stands, Rosenberg has entered a plea of not guilty and, at this point, that is how it is going to remain, regardless of the clerical error that appears to have led to the confusion.
Rosenberg was arrested last spring by a police officer in Hollywood. He was charged with driving under the influence and driving with a suspended license. Police officers have reported that Rosenberg was stopped in the middle of the road around 1:30 a.m. attempting to purge himself.
Police, likely knowing who Rosenberg is, made sure to include any and all details that might paint him in a negative or embarrassing light.Bear in mind, this is someone who has not been convicted. It's only one side of the story to which the public has been privy. But the media giddily ran with it as if it were gospel.
At the time, Rosenberg was an afternoon host for a competing radio sports station, WQAM-560. He was suspended and soon after fired. He was subsequently hired by WMEN-640.
Rosenberg's focus at the moment is working toward improving his health - mind and body - as well as keeping his career on track and spending time with his family. Having someone to capably handle the legal matters can be a huge relief.
Someone like Rosenberg has no trouble holding his own with the media. However, no matter how much a person may have dealt before with journalists or police or prosecutors, high-profile figures benefit from having an experienced attorney looking out for his or her best interests.
High-profile cases aren't limited to those involving local celebrities, politicians or high-ranking officials. Sometimes, they involve individuals accused of serious DUI-related offenses, such as DUI manslaughter or vehicular homicide.
For these folks, securing a good lawyer is in some ways even more important. Having likely never before dealt with the criminal justice system or the media, and facing such steep consequences if convicted, it's vital to have an attorney dedicated to aggressively protecting your rights and interests.
Carlos Canet has been in practice for more than 25 years, with his service dedicated solely to criminal defense. In the last handful of years, he has secured nearly 70 acquittals in DUI jury trials.
Having that kind of proven experience is key for all of our clients, but especially those whose cases are more complex or higher-profile.
