What are the Penalties for a DUI first?
DUI Attorney Franks: It depends on certain factors. For a a typical motorists license its suspension for up to 4 months a two hundred fifty to a $1000 fine as much as 2 days in jail and going to a MASEP training course or a Victims Impact Panel. If it is a commercial vehicle license then the fines are far more extreme in the that they lose their license for as much as 365 days which could place them out of work. After that we also have people under age 21. Relying on their blood alcohol content they can be looking at a fine of two hundred fifty dollars and a one hundred twenty day suspension of their license together with the program. The actual difference is they do not have the 2 days behind bars and they do not have the fine as much as $1000.
Does there exist any way I can be discovered not guilty?
Attorney Franks: Absolutely. Its not unusual to have a case dismissed or go to court and have a person found not guilty. Actually the first trial I executed as a DUI attorney was a DUI second violation and also the person was found not guilty on all the charges. It depends on a lot of points. It depends on the realities from when the individuals pulled over. Did the police officer have reasonable suspicion or probable cause to detain them? If they do not the rest is moot. In addition to that officers are people too. They make errors. They forget entering information needed to prosecute someone efficiently for a DUI. It is feasible to obtain an innocent decision on a DUI.
If I'm not innocent do I have to do prison time?
Attorney Franks: It can carry as much as 48 hours behind bars. Nonetheless we ask for credit for time served. Then we ask the court to suspend the remaining time and also they will usually abide. The purpose of courts is not to hurt individuals. They want individuals to stay efficient citizens.
Can I beg to a lower violation?
Joey: Negative. The regulations are extremely clear on this..
