DUI Attorney Joey Franks is your advocate.

What should we seek in a DUI Attorney?

Attorney Franks: You require a DUI attorney who is most likely to honestly say to you the positive as well as the negative of your case. Every situation has positive and also negative points. You need an attorney that will certainly take a seat day one and also tell you realistically what your situation is. You require an attorney who's not scared to go to trial that's not hesitant to be in front of a judge but at the exact same time has a connection with the prosecutors and also can have a frank conversation. Frequently we can obtain a favorable end result without having to go to court though occasionally a trial is absolutely required. You need an attorney that's not frightened to take the path most beneficial to you. And also you require a person who will tell you the truthful account of where you are.

Can an individual simply go into the court and speak straight to the prosecutor?

Lawyer Franks: Affirmative and negative. There are district attorneys who refuse outright to speak with people that aren't represented by an attorney. In fact I have actually dealt with one prosecutor who would not speak with me as an attorney. You deserve to go talk with the prosecutor however there's no demand the prosecutor talks with you. Honestly do you understand the good points of your case? Do you understand the bad points of your situation? Ive talked to many individuals regarding that and I explain what they're considering. Quite often they do not know the responses. Its not because they're stupid. Most individuals I take care of are highly intelligent and skilled at being a plumber or a carpenter. They got involved in a little bit of trouble. I cant fix an 18-wheeler or change an engine. However I'm a good DUI defense lawyer. I tell individuals I could go work with my very own truck or I might attempt driving an 18-wheeler but its most likely to look poor and I'm probably going to screw it up and its most likely to end up costing me a lot more. So I highly recommend proceeding and getting a DUI attorney to stand up with and serve them throughout the process and to see that its not messed up. I make sure it costs as low as feasible and also it sets you back as little time as possible.

Whats one of the most common concerns you see?

Lawyer Franks: "Am I most likely to go to jail over this?" I comprehend no one intends to be in prison. However for a DUI very first infraction two days is the optimum prison penalty that can be enforced. If there is a plea deal or a not innocent conviction then we ask for time spent credit. There's also the alternative of going to a victims impact panel. You go to on a weekend break and sit through the panel. You need to pay for it but you stay clear of investing the 2 days behind bars or you stay clear of the remaining time you would certainly be required to be behind bars that had not been credited. Sometimes were able to have that suspended completely and if we get a not guilty at trial or the matter is dismissed then there is no prison time.
