DUI Attorneys Flowood MS

If I'm pulled over for a DUI what offenses are there?

Attorney Franks: There are 5 DUI charges. DUI refusal means you declined to take the test. DUI first crime is an initial crime. DUI 2nd infraction implies its your second DUI within a 5 year time frame. DUI 3rd crime is a third DUI or extra in a 5 year duration. Lastly an exacerbated DUI which is a felony along with the 3rd violation. Exacerbated means you injured someone in a crash as well as you were consuming alcohol over the lawful limits.

On a very first DUI can the officer take my license?

Attorney Franks: Yes. They will hand you a paper that says you have one month to go to trial or your license will be put on hold. What that indicates is you have 30 days to obtain a DUI attorney and also set it for trial. In case the court can not schedule your situation within thirty days your attorney can move to have the duration extended till the day the court can hear your case.

Can I represent myself during proceedings?

Attorney Franks: I constantly inform every person I can replace the engine in my truck but Im probably going to mess it up due to the fact that I'm not a technician. You can represent on your own yet should you? No you should not. I have actually seen more people founded guilty in courts trying to represent themselves and its not due to the fact that they are silly. The reality is they don't recognize the legislation as well as they don't recognize the rules of evidence. As a DUI attorney I keep up with these points and take advantage of it for my clients to obtain them the best possible end result. While you deserve to represent on your own its one of those situations where quite often you're better off and its cheaper to go ahead and also employ an attorney that understands what they are carrying out in the DUI world.
