What are the Penalties for a DUI first?
Attorney Franks: It depends upon specific elements. For a a conventional drivers license it's suspension for up to 120 days a $250 to a $1000 fine as much as 2 days behind bars and going to a MASEP program or a Victims Impact Panel. If it is a commercial vehicle license after that the charges are much more serious in the that they shed their license for as much as one year which might put them out of work. After that we likewise have individuals under age 21. Depending on their blood alcohol content they could be considering a penalty of two hundred fifty dollars and also a 3 month suspension of their license in addition to the program. The genuine difference is they don't have the 48 hours behind bars and they don't have the penalty up to $1000.
Is there any type of way I can be discovered not guilty?
Attorney Franks: Absolutely. Its not unusual to have a case dismissed or go to trial and have a person found not guilty. As a matter of fact the first trial I executed as a criminal justice attorney was a DUI 2nd offense and also the individual was found innocent on all the accusations. It depends on a great deal of things. It relies on the realities from when the persons pulled over. Did the police officer have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to detain them? If they do not the rest is cut off. In addition to that officers are humans also. They make mistakes. They ignore entering information called for to prosecute someone efficiently for a DUI. It is feasible to obtain an innocent decision on a DUI. That's where I can aid as a criminal justice attorney.
If I'm found guilty do I have to do prison time?
Attorney Franks: It can carry as much as two days in jail. However we ask for credit for time served. Then we ask the court to suspend the remaining time and also they will typically abide. The purpose of courts is not to hurt people. They desire individuals to remain efficient people.
Can I plead to a lesser violation?
Joey: No. The regulations are really clear on this.
