Having a suspended license can be
very hassle. Your license can be suspended trough various citations. You can be
issued violations such as over speeding, beating the red light, or violating
other traffic rules. One of the gravest offenses is driving under the influence
of alcohol or drugs. You will be issued with a DUI citation and can be
sanctioned, at least, by paying a fine or, at most, being imprisoned for 6
months. Your license can also be suspended or cancelled. With serious
violations, you don’t really have to worry if you consult with a DUI lawyer. A
DUI lawyer will help you through your case; but when do you have to hire a DUI
lawyer?
1. It is better to plead guilty if
it is your first DUI. Of course, pleading guilty will only be a wise choice if
you think that there is high certainty that the arresting officer can testify
your erratic driving. But before you plead guilty, you must consult a DUI
lawyer of the DUI penalties and fines. Consulting a DUI lawyer will help you
fully understand the severity of your case. Sometimes, for a fist time
offender, a DUI lawyer may advise to plea bargain your case for a 0.08-0.11 BAC
reading.
2. Plea bargaining is when your
charge is reduced to a lesser one. Many state offers sentence or plea
bargaining. A DUI lawyer is extremely useful when deciding on when to plead
guilty or when to do a sentence bargaining. Sentences can be very grave, under
sentence bargaining, that’s why an advice from a DUI lawyer is really useful.
3. Second offenders should
definitely get a DUI lawyer. A DUI lawyer will help you through your case. Most
of DUI lawyers offer various credit and cash payment or discounts; if you have
financial concerns. Don’t worry; initial consultation with a DUI lawyer is usually
for free. You just have to ensure that you get the full quotation for his
representation. Some lawyers may charge you with additional costs for other
things that may occur during the court hearing. Lastly, a good tip is to meet
two or three DUI lawyers before choosing the best representative.
