What should we seek in a DUI Attorney?
Attorney Franks: You need a DUI attorney that is most likely to honestly say to you the good and the bad of your situation. Every situation has positive and bad points. You require an attorney who will sit down the first day and tell you genuinely what your circumstance is. You need an attorney that's not frightened to head to court that's not hesitant to get in front of a court but at the very same time has a relationship with the prosecutors and can have a frank discussion. On a regular basis we can obtain a positive end result without having to go to court though sometimes a court date is absolutely needed. You require a lawyer that's not frightened to take the course most helpful to you. And you require somebody who will certainly tell you the truthful account of where you are.
Can an individual just go into the court and talk straight to the prosecutor?
Attorney Franks: Yes and also negative. There are prosecutors who reject straight away to speak with individuals that aren't stood for by an attorney. As a matter of fact I have actually interacted with one district attorney who would not speak to me as a lawyer. You deserve to go talk to the district attorney however there's no requirement the district attorney talks with you. Honestly do you know the good points of your case? Do you understand the negative factors of your situation? I have talked with many people regarding that and also I clarify what they're considering. Frequently they don't know the responses. Its not since they're incompetent. The majority of people I deal with are very smart and competent at being a mechanic or a truck driver. They got involved in a bit of trouble. I cant work on an 18-wheeler or change an engine. However I'm a good DUI defense lawyer. I tell individuals I might go deal with my own truck or I might attempt driving an semi truck yet its going to look poor and also I'm most likely going to screw it up and its most likely to end up costing me a lot more. So I very much suggest going ahead and obtaining a DUI attorney to stand with and serve them for the duration of the procedure and to see that its not messed up. I make sure it costs as low as possible and also it costs as little time as feasible.
Whats one of the most common questions you get?
Lawyer Franks: "Am I most likely to go to jail over this?" I recognize nobody wants to be in jail. But for a DUI first infraction 48 hours is the optimum prison sentence that can be imposed. If there is a plea deal or a not innocent conviction after that we request time served deduction. There's additionally the choice of going to a victims impact panel. You attend on a weekend and sit through the panel. You need to shell out money for it however you avoid spending the two days behind bars or you stay clear of the remaining time you would certainly be called for to serve in jail that wasn't attributed. In some cases we have the ability to get that put on hold entirely and if we obtain an innocent at trial or the matter is dismissed then there is no jail time.
