Every state considers drunk driving a serious offense. However, to be found guilty of DUI, laws state you do not need to be intoxicated or drunk. Instead, your ability to operate a motor vehicle is determined by measuring your blood alcohol level and if it exceeds the limit set by the State. Consequences for a DUI offense differ for many reasons. Hiring the right DUI attorney could make all the difference!
Serious Consequences of DUI
Did you know that when convicted of a DUI, there is a possibility of jail time, even for first-time offenders?
With this, your license may be taken away, and most often there are heavy fines to pay! Your life could be seriously impacted by these consequences.
In addition to this, insurance companies often drop you from their coverage completely. If allowed to drive again, insurance rates can be extremely costly and even double, due to your need of high-risk insurance.
By hiring a drunk driving defense attorney, you can avoid or even minimize these consequences and fees.
Expert Negotiating Skills
DUI attorneys have the knowledge and experience in dealing with these types of cases. Many times, by skilled negotiating, an attorney is able to get their client a lesser sentence. A drunk driving defense attorney may be able to plead down the charges against you to a lesser charge, and can help with overall case outcomes.
Understanding of DUI Science
The majority of DUI defenses depend on such things as rising blood alcohol content or breathalyzer tests which can be faulty. Because of this, not all attorneys have an understanding of the science needed to represent you correctly in court. By hiring the right attorney you can be sure they are fighting for your rights with the correct information and understanding of the laws and science behind a DUI offense. Having an experienced attorney is essential.
