What should I do if I obtain a DUI?
Attorney Franks: The initial thing you are required to do is take a seat and write out a description of what occurred for your documents. As days pass you will certainly forget the refined details very important to the DUI Attorney. Its the absolute very first thing you do. The day you leave the prison go to a coffee shop with a notebook and write out every little thing you remember from the state of the roadway to the moment to the weather condition to the officer to the examination done. If you do not know the name of the examination define it. Then call me and set up a visit and also bring all documentation you received from the police prison or bail bondsman.
Will I instantly give up my license with a DUI?
Attorney Franks: Only if you're found guilty of a DUI and you do not go the non-adjudication path. If you are not innocent of a DUI you will certainly lose your license for 120 days. There's no other way around it besides non-adjudication. There are particular requirements that must be satisfied if you intend to go the non-adjudication path and also not everybody qualifies for it. As an example a commercial driver would not get non-adjudication.
If my license is suspended can I obtain a limited license so I can go to my job?
Attorney Franks: Regrettably in MS no you can not obtain a restricted license if you are convicted or you beg guilty without the non-adjudication. However if you go the non-adjudication path you can put a breathalyzer in your car and every single time you wish to crank it you need to blow in it and it registers whether you have alcohol on your breath. That is the only way to obtain any type of sort of restricted permit since you have to surrender your normal motorists license and obtain an interlock restricted license. Or else you'll be charged with driving while your license is suspended.
How long is my case going to take?
DUI Attorney Franks: That varies from court to court and also its an intricate question. If you're speaking about the date you're arrested to the day the trial occurs at the lower court you're most likely checking out 3 to 4 months. That's the basic duration and also there might be continuances entailed. The state may ask for a continuation which could extend it out one more month or 2 or 3. In case you're doing an appeal where you plead nolo contendere its most likely going to be prolonged out an additional six months since you're in a whole different court and you're beginning the process again. It varies because the court informs us when they will hear it.
How much time will a DUI stay on my record?
Attorney Franks: Lets claim you obtain a DUI first on 1/1/17 and also you get an additional DUI on December 31 2017. Those 2 DUIs are going to stack up and the 2nd one will end up being a DUI 2nd. However if you got a DUI on the January 1 2017 and you got one more DUI on January 1 2025 the twenty twenty five DUI would be a DUI first. They remain on your record for five years. They don't completely go away in that they're there and also we can still see it. However its not affecting your insurance. You have the alternative of expunging the DUI if you meet specific demands after five years which would take it off of your record.
