DUI Attorney Joey Franks is your advocate.

What should we search for 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 bad of your case. Every situation has positive and bad factors. You require an attorney that will certainly take a seat the first day and also tell you realistically what your circumstance is. You need an attorney who's not frightened to go to court who's not hesitant to be in front of a judge yet at the exact same time has a relationship with the district attorneys and can have an honest discussion. On a regular basis we can obtain a positive end result without having to go to trial though occasionally a trial is definitely necessary. You need an attorney that's not scared to take the course most helpful to you. And you require someone who will certainly tell you the no bull account of where you are.

Can an individual simply enter into the court room and talk straight to the district attorney?

Attorney Franks: Affirmative and negative. There are prosecutors that refuse outright to speak with individuals that aren't stood for by a lawyer. In fact I have actually interacted with one prosecutor who wouldn't talk to me as a lawyer. You deserve to go speak with the district attorney yet there's no requirement the district attorney talks with you. Honestly do you know the good points of your situation? Do you understand the negative points of your situation? Ive talked to many people concerning that and I clarify what they're looking at. Frequently they don't know the answers. Its not due to the fact that they're incompetent. Lots of people I deal with are highly intelligent and proficient at being a mechanic or a carpenter. They got into a little bit of difficulty. I can not work on a semi trick or change an engine. But I'm an excellent DUI defense lawyer. I tell people I could go work with my own vehicle or I could try driving an 18-wheeler but its going to look bad and I'm possibly going to mess it up and its most likely to end up costing me more. So I highly recommend proceeding and getting a DUI lawyer to stand up with and serve them for the duration of the process and to see that its not ruined. I make sure it costs as little as possible and also it costs as little time as feasible.

Whats the most common concerns you see?

Attorney Franks: "Am I most likely to go to prison over this?" I comprehend nobody wishes to be in jail. However for a DUI first violation 48 hours is the optimum prison penalty that can be imposed. If there is a plea bargain or a not innocent sentence then we ask for time served credit. There's also the alternative of participating in a victims impact panel. You attend on a weekend break and endure the panel. You have to pay for it however you avoid investing the two days behind bars or you stay clear of the remaining time you would certainly be required to serve behind bars that had not been attributed. Occasionally were able to get that suspended totally and if we get an innocent at court or the issue is dismissed then there is no prison time.
