The First Step to A DUI Defense

A DUI or Boating Under the Influence Charge can carry hash sanctions. Alot of people may lose their jobs if their license gets suspended. Not to mention, trying to explain the DUI to a prospective employer is not something any applicant wants to do. Understanding you have options, and believe it or not, affordable options is important. 1. Request the formal review within 10 days. 2. Analyze the traffic stop to ensure you were pulled over lawfully. 3. Analyze the officer's actions to ensure they are telling the truth. 4. Analyze the roadsides to ensure the officer requested them properly. 5. Make sure the breath machine was in compliance with the law. An experienced lawyer can help you, and when your job or future job is at stake the price you spend on defense is well worth it.

Remember you have the right to remain silent

While you have the right to remain silent, too often those that get arrested don't have the ability. A polite request for a lawyer prior to answering incriminating questions cannot be used against you at trial. When an officer asks where you were all night prior to getting pulled over and your answer is CLUB Liquor you create a tough hole to climb out of. However, if you kindly request to speak to an attorney before answering any questions then your silence cannot be used against you. The jury won't hear that you asked for a lawyer either.
