DUI Attorneys
If I'm drawn over for a DUI. what crimes are there?
Attorney Franks: There are five DUI accusations. DUI rejection means you declined to take the examination. DUI first offense is a very first violation. DUI 2nd infraction implies its your 2nd DUI within a five year period. DUI third offense is a third DUI or more in a five year duration. Lastly an exacerbated DUI which is a felony together with the 3rd violation. Exacerbated means you harmed somebody in a crash and also you were drinking over the lawful limits.
On an initial DUI can the police officer take my license?
Attorney Franks: Yes. They will hand you a piece of paper that says you have one month to go to trial or your drivers license will be put on hold. What that suggests is you have one month to get a DUI attorney and established it for trial. In the event the court can not schedule your case within 1 Month your lawyer can move to have the period extended till the day the court can hear your trial.
Can I represent myself during the process?
Attorney Franks: I always inform everyone I can replace the engine in my truck yet Im most likely going to mess it up because I'm not an auto mechanic. You can speak for on your own yet should you? No you not. I have seen more individuals convicted in trial trying to represent themselves and its not because they are stupid. The fact is they don't know the law and they do not understand the rules of evidence. As a DUI attorney I stay up to date with these things as well as take advantage of it for my clients to obtain them the best feasible outcome. While you can represent on your own it is just one of those situations where quite often you're far better off as well as its more affordable to go on and also work with a lawyer that recognizes what they are doing in the DUI world.
