What should I do if I obtain a DUI?
Attorney Franks: The very first point you are required to do is take a seat and also write out a description of what happened for your records. As time passes you will certainly forget the subtle details really vital to the DUI Attorney. Its the outright first point you do. The day you leave the jail walk to a coffee house with a notebook and write out every little thing you remember from the state of the road to the moment to the weather condition to the policeman to the examination performed. If you do not know the name of the test describe it. Then contact me and also set up a consultation and bring all documentation you obtained from the police prison or bail bondsman.
Will I immediately give up my license with a DUI?
Attorney Franks: Just if you are found guilty of a DUI and you do not go the non-adjudication path. If you are not innocent of a DUI you will give up your license for 120 days. There's no way around it other than non-adjudication. There are particular requirements that have to be met if you wish to go the non-adjudication path and also not everybody gets it. For instance a commercial vehicle driver would certainly not get approved for non-adjudication.
If my license is suspended can I get a limited license so I can get to my job?
Attorney Franks: Sadly in MS no you can not obtain a restricted license if you are found guilty or you plead guilty without the non-adjudication. However if you go the non-adjudication path you can place a breathalyzer in your automobile and every time you wish to crank it you have to blow in it and it registers whether you have booze on your breath. That is the only way to get any type of sort of limited permit because you need to surrender your regular drivers license and obtain an interlock limited permit. Otherwise you'll be accused of driving while your license is suspended.
How long is my case going to take?
DUI Attorney Franks: That varies from court to court and its an intricate inquiry. If you're talking about the day you're apprehended to the date the court date occurs at the local court you're probably taking a look at three to four months. That's the general timeframe and there might be continuances entailed. The state may request a continuance which can expand it out one more month or 2 or three. In the event you're doing an appeal where you plead nolo contendere its most likely going to be extended out an additional 6 months due to the fact that you're in a whole different court and also you're beginning the process all over. It differs since the court tells us when they will hear it.
How much time will a DUI stay on my record?
Attorney Franks: Let us say you get a DUI first on 1/1/17 and also you obtain an additional DUI on December 31 2017. Those 2 DUIs are will stack up and the second one will end up being a DUI 2nd. Nevertheless if you got a DUI on the 1/1/17 and you got another DUI on 1/1/25 the twenty twenty five DUI would be a DUI first. They remain on your record for five years. They do not entirely disappear in that they're there and we can still see it. Nonetheless its not influencing your insurance coverage. You have the choice of expunging the DUI if you fulfill specific demands after five years which would certainly take it off of your record.
