DUI Attorney Ridgeland MS

What are the Penalties for a DUI first?

DUI Attorney Franks: It depends upon certain factors. For a a conventional motorists license its suspension for approximately one hundred twenty days a two hundred fifty to a one thousand dollar fine as much as 2 days in jail and attending a MASEP program or a Victims Impact Panel. If it is a commercial vehicle license then the fines are far more severe in the that they shed their license for approximately 365 days which might put them without a job. After that we also have individuals under age 21. Depending upon their blood alcohol content they could be taking a look at a penalty of $250 and a 3 month suspension of their license in addition to the course. The real difference is they don't have the 48 hours in jail and also they do not have the penalty up to $1000.

Does there exist any type of way I can be found not guilty?

Attorney Franks: Absolutely. Its not unusual to have a case dismissed or go to court and have an individual found not guilty. Actually the first trial I executed as a DUI attorney was a DUI second offense and the individual was found not guilty on all the accusations. It depends upon a great deal of things. It relies on the facts from when the persons flagged over. Did the policeman have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to detain them? If they do not the remainder is moot. On top of that police officers are human beings too. They make blunders. They neglect entering information called for to prosecute somebody effectively for a DUI. Its possible to get an innocent judgment on a DUI.

If I'm not innocent do I need to do prison time?

Attorney Franks: It can carry as much as 48 hours in jail. However we request credit for time served. After that we ask the court to put on hold the remaining time and they will usually comply. The function of courts is not to harm people. They want people to remain effective citizens.

Can I beg to a minimal violation?

Joey: No. The laws are extremely clear on this..
