What are the Penalties for a DUI first?
Attorney Franks: It depends on specific elements. For a a conventional vehicle drivers license it's suspension for as much as four months a $250 to a $1000 penalty up to 2 days behind bars and also attending a MASEP program or a Victims Impact Panel. If it is a commercial vehicle license after that the penalties are far more severe in the that they shed their license for up to 1 year which might put them out of work. After that we likewise have people under age 21. Relying on their blood alcohol content they could be considering a fine of $250 and a 3 month suspension of their license in addition to the training course. The real distinction is they dont have the two days in jail and they dont have the fine up to $1000.
Does there exist any way I can be found not guilty?
Attorney Franks: Absolutely. It's not uncommon to have a case dismissed or head to court and also have a person discovered not guilty. As a matter of fact the first trial I did as a criminal justice attorney was a DUI 2nd offense and also the person was found innocent on all the charges. It relies on a great deal of things. It relies on the facts from when the persons pulled over. Did the policeman have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to stop them? If they dont the rest is cut off. In addition to that officers are human beings as well. They make blunders. They overlook entering data needed to prosecute a person efficiently for a DUI. Its feasible to obtain a not guilty decision on a DUI. That's where I can help as a criminal justice attorney.
If I'm found guilty do I have to do prison time?
Attorney Franks: It can carry up to two days behind bars. However we ask for credit for time served. Then we ask the court to put on hold the remaining time and also they will typically abide. The objective of courts is not to hurt people. They want people to stay efficient people.
Can I beg to a lesser infraction?
Joey: Negative. The regulations are really clear on this.
