WHEN DO I NEED A DUI LAWYER?

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.
