Melbourne DUI / DWI
Have you been arrested for drunk driving or driving under the influence? In DUI / DWI cases, the incidence of bad stops and unlawful arrest in Brevard County, Florida is significant. When you retain us as your DUI / DWI defense attorney, the first thing that we do is challenge the reason why you were stopped. If you have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, you need to be prepared before you appear before a judge. We will work to ensure the evidence against you is collected, preserved in a legal manner, and analyzed thoroughly. If this is your first arrest, we are going to work to attempt for you to keep your driver`s license. If it is your second offense, the work is different, in that the statutory guidelines change; but there is almost always a way to keep you out of jail. We will get you the best shot at being able to continue driving and avoiding jail time.

Trust your defense to a lawyer who regularly deals with the idiosyncrasies of the Brevard County Criminal system.
Patrick Barbary Esq.
Patrick Barbary has lived in Florida for more than two decades. Before becoming an attorney, Patrick was a successful businessman for more than ten years. He is also a licensed FAA commercial pilot. Patrick graduated summa cum laude from Rollins College, then went on to earn his Juris Doctorate from the fine Stetson University College of Law located in St. Petersburg, Florida. After graduating, Patrick worked for almost three years as a State prosecutor for the State Attorney`s office of the Eighteenth Judicial Circuit. Patrick has also taught business law, as an associate professor at Rollins College.
In October 1995, Patrick opened his own Law Firm. Patrick specializes in Criminal Law and Family Law, and handles Personal Injury cases with his long time friend and new partner Clay Morgan. Patrick tries very hard to provide affordable legal services, and has successfully defended countless clients who thought they could not afford "private" legal representation. Often, Patrick will personally answer his phone, and will try to help you. Good or bad, Patrick will always give you the facts the way they are; no dramatization, no prevarication.
The new millennium was the start of a new partnership between Patrick and Clay. "Morgan and Barbary, P.A." was created to provide all our respective clients with a firm that can satisfy all their legal needs. Clay and I are very proud of this new association. We have decided to concentrate in providing personalized service to our clients and friends rather than having multiple offices, and poor personal contact with our clients. At "Morgan & Barbary," you`ll either deal with Attorney Clay Morgan, or Attorney Patrick Barbary.
Patrick also speaks French fluently.
