RIGHT TO PROPER DEFENSE

Everyone who has been charged with a crime is entitled to the services of a defense lawyer for proper representation. Such is a basic human right that must be upheld by everyone. At the prospect of being charged with a DUI, immediately contact a DUI attorney to make sure that your rights are protected and respected.

The possibility of being charged with a DUI or driving under the influence can be a distressing experience for anyone to go through. But the more upsetting aspects of a DUI charge are the penalties and consequences when found guilty.

What most people probably do not know is that a DUI charge does not necessarily lead to a DUI conviction. A well prepared DUI defense from your lawyer can result to minor penalties or even to an outright acquittal.

APPROPRIATE PENALTIES

A proper DUI defense is important because the consequences of a conviction can be very unpleasant, depending on the gravity of the case. Without a DUI defense you can lose your driver’s license which can have a negative effect on your ability to make a livelihood; your car insurance will increase substantially, sometimes to levels that you can no longer afford; and you face the possibility of jail time and a criminal record which can permanently ruin your reputation. All of these are risks you face if you do not retain a DUI defense attorney.

Of course having a DUI defense attorney does not always guarantee acquittal or dismissal of the case. The main advantage of having a DUI defense attorney is the assurance that your DUI defense is being handled by someone who is an expert at the field.

The outcome of your case can be affected by several factors like if you are a first time offender, the state where the DUI charge was made, if there were other parties involved, if there has been damage to property or injuries to other people, etc. All of these things will be used in court and will be a factor in your DUI defense.
