Sadly, as the holidays are in full swing, there are more and more opportunities to unwittingly get behind the wheel of your car after exceeding the legal limit with your alcohol. You may believe that you can have two drinks and be just fine behind the wheel. You remember that you've done it before and you were fine to drive.
Then again, when you see those flashing lights in your rearview, you remember that the last time you had two drink and drove the same evening, you had the drinks at 4 o'clock, ate dinner with friends and then drove home at 8 o'clock. It is now three in the morning and you just had those drink with no food. The circumstances are different; you actually still have alcohol in your system and you are not going to pass the field sobriety test so you begin to think of what you should do next. As you ride over to the local lock up you think about the ad you saw online that you knew you'd never need. It was an ad for a local DUI lawyer with years of experience who can help you through this whole ordeal when the sun comes up.
The next morning you are arraigned and bail is set along with a date for you to return to face the judge and the charge of driving while under the influence of alcohol. When you get home you research the DUI lawyer you came across that faithful day and you make an appointment to find out your options. Quickly he informs you that your options are your own character and your first offense. In matters of driving under the influence there were likely at least one witness to your driving ability, you were tested once stopped and you were seen walking uneasily in the police station so it would be difficult to say that the charges are false. However, as a first offender the fine will be far less and no jail time is likely to be required for your sentencing. The DUI lawyer in this case is there to insure that nothing is thrown at you and you aren't accused of anything you didn't do. If you have exceeded your first offense the attorney will attempt to attain leniency for you.
A DUI lawyer can be a handy resource for mean an women who refuse to leave their car at a friend's house or the parking lot of their chosen New Year's Eve bash locale. These lawyers know how to help each client understand their rights and how to help them see alternative means of punishment to jail time.
