DUI Attorney Joey Franks is your advocate.

What should we seek in a DUI Attorney?

Attorney Franks: You need a DUI attorney who is most likely to honestly say to you the good as well as the negative of your situation. Every situation has good and negative points. You require an attorney who will certainly sit down day one and tell you realistically what your circumstance is. You need an attorney that's not frightened to go to court that's not reluctant to be in front of a judge but at the very same time has a relationship with the district attorneys and also can have an honest conversation. Quite often we can obtain a positive end result without needing to go to trial though in some cases a court date is absolutely needed. You require a lawyer that's not frightened to take the course most advantageous to you. And you require somebody who will certainly tell you the truthful account of your situation.

Can a person simply go into the court room and speak directly to the prosecutor?

Attorney Franks: Yes and also no. There are district attorneys that decline outright to talk with individuals that aren't represented by an attorney. As a matter of fact Ive dealt with one district attorney that wouldn't speak to me as an attorney. You deserve to go talk with the district attorney but there's no demand the prosecutor talks with you. Honestly do you understand the assets of your case? Do you understand the negative factors of your situation? I have talked with lots of people regarding that and also I explain what they're looking at. On a regular basis they don't understand the responses. Its not due to the fact that they're incompetent. Lots of people I deal with are highly intelligent and skilled at being a plumber or a truck driver. They got into a little bit of trouble. I cant fix an 18-wheeler or change an engine. Yet I'm a good DUI defense lawyer. I tell people I could go work with my own truck or I could attempt driving an semi truck however its most likely to look negative and also I'm probably going to mess it up and also its going to end up costing me more. So I highly advise going ahead and getting a DUI attorney to stand with and represent them for the duration of the process and to see that its not ruined. I make certain it sets you back as little as possible and it sets you back as little time as feasible.

Whats the most common questions you get?

Lawyer Franks: "Am I going to go to jail over this?" I recognize no one intends to go to prison. But for a DUI very first violation two days is the maximum prison penalty that can be enforced. If there is a plea deal or a guilty conviction after that we request time served deduction. There's also the choice of attending a victims impact panel. You go to on a weekend break and endure the panel. You need to pay for it yet you avoid investing the 2 days in jail or you avoid the rest of the time you would certainly be called for to serve behind bars that wasn't attributed. In some cases we have the ability to have that suspended totally and also if we obtain a not guilty at trial or the matter is dismissed after that there is no jail time.
