Should you always call a Lawyer when charged with DUI?

We’re not saying mistakes don’t happen, but the reason most DUI cases result in conviction is because the accused was guilty.

If you make the mistake of getting behind the wheel while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and you are pulled over, the evidence of your crime is fairly easy to ascertain. All the arresting officer has to do is request a breathalyzer or field sobriety test, the results of which are considered almost irrefutable in a court of law.

In most jurisdictions, a conviction will result in the suspension of your driving privileges, a heavy fine, and state-mandated classes for alcohol or drug reduction. A DUI Attorney can help whether it is your first, second, or even third offense. Don’t tackle a DUI charge without the expert legal advice of an experienced lawyer.

No matter the judge or jurisdiction, a first conviction for DUI rarely entails a prison sentence. But a second or third one? In most states, you’re looking at mandatory prison time if you are convicted of the crime more than once.
