Why You Need a Lawyer For DUI

You probably know, that if you if you have been charged with a DUI, you are the midst of some serious business, with serious consequences. Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a dangerous criminal act. Driving under the influence is a severe crime in every state. For this reason, you don't want to try to defend yourself. Also, for this reason, you definitely should not throw in the towel and just plead guilty to get it over with.

A DUI lawyer can be of huge help and benefit to you. DUI lawyers know much about how the court system operates and are also up to date on new laws and regulations. This will benefit you much more than if you were to try to defend yourself and clear up your record on your own. And, no matter how guilty you may feel about what has happened, it may definitely benefit you more than if you simply pleaded guilty. Certainly, hiring a good DUI lawyer is absolutely your best decision and ought to be your first move.

The law is a large and complicated beast with many, many heads. Not every lawyer has the same training, education and experience to handle all types of cases. A given lawyer will have more knowledge and experience in one area than in another, so your choice of which type of lawyer to hire is very important. Using a DUI attorney or DUI Lawyer who focuses on drunk driving defense could make a big difference in the outcome of your case.

Also consider that there are many specialized DUI lawyers out there, and it makes a difference which one you ultimately choose to work with. Just as in any field, simply put, some DUI lawyers are much better and more experienced at what they do than others. DUI lawyers and their fees vary depending on the skill and experience of the attorney as well as the complexity of your DUI case. For example, many attorneys claim to be DUI defense lawyers, but they simply handle guilty pleas! Because of the seriousness of the crime and the lasting consequences that are often the result of a DUI, it is probably worth every penny and every minute to meet and work with a DUI lawyer who can do the most for you by virtue of their experience and track record.

Frankly, you need a lawyer who specializes in DUI with experience tackling cases the same as yours - with positive results. You want to know how many DUI trials has the lawyer handled in the last year. (You need to know this figure to make sure that your lawyer has the ability to defend you in case your DUI suit goes to trial.) The more cases of DUI the lawyer has handled, the more skilled he or she is likely to be in DUI defense. Even more so, the more experience the lawyer has with cases very similar to yours, the more he or she is likely to be able to provide you with the best advantage, increasing your chances of success, with or without a trial..

The penalties in drunk driving cases are extremely complicated. You can potentially lose your driving privileges and in extreme cases may face jail time or even prison. On the other hand, remember DUI cases also get dismissed, DUI charges get reduced, DUI punishments get reduced, and people are found Not Guilty on a consistent basis by DUI lawyers who investigate and who have the required knowledge and experience. (This, however, is not always the case. If the DUI causes injury or property damage and in cases where the DUI is not a first offense- the DUI charge can become and be treated as a felony. But remember, many cases of DUI/DWI also get dismissed on simple technicalities with the help of experienced DWI lawyers.

The DUI lawyer's help is also very important during pre-trial conferences (the negotiations before an actual trial is set). They will research and use any technical defects they find to build a strong defense, in preparation for either settlement or trial. The last step in the court process is an actual criminal trial. Finally, if a trial has been set, the DUI lawyer will participate in the juror selection and naturally, stand for and defend you during the actual trial. Of course, a great many cases are resolved before they go all the way to trial.
