Defend Your Yourself In Court... With Friends!
When you've been charged with a DUI, you can start to feel like your life is falling apart. Let's set aside the fact that some local newspapers and online news outlets report the names and post the mugshots of individuals charged with a DUI; that's humiliating enough. You also have to consider that, with a DUI on your record, your insurance rates are about to go sky-high. That's if you're allowed to keep your license, anyway.
You need to fight your DUI charge, and that's why you need a drunk driving defense lawyer. No, you don't need a lawyer because you're guilty; you need a “drunk driving” lawyer because you're entering into our justice system, where legal representation is an absolute MUST if you want to have any success in pursuing your side of the case.
A “drunk driving” attorney is the best person to represent you when you've been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol (or other substances). They know all the ins and outs of these kinds of cases, and can navigate the minutiae of the law, squeezing you through to, if not a verdict of not guilty, at the very least a very reduced sentence.
That is the magic of the law, and that is the answer to, “Why hire a DUI lawyer?” Even if you may have been a bit tipsy, drunk driving lawyers can get you off almost completely, if not absolutely free from the charges. If you're thinking of representing yourself, you are, of course, crazy. A DUI lawyer knows exactly how to represent you given the facts of your case, and know precisely how to navigate the labyrinth of DUI law to get you the best result possible.
Perhaps you're hesitant to pay DUI attorney fees. After all, they can rate rather high for attorneys who are truly effective. You needn't worry about that when you consider the benefits of not having a DUI on your record, though. Imagine how much money you'll lose if you can't drive your car owing to not having a driver's license? Or imagine how much money you'll be out if have to pay a massive fine or, worse, serve a sentence in prison. That's considerably more than you would pay your DUI attorney, don't you think?
So don't be afraid to start scheduling consultations now. You need to be in court soon, and if you aren't on top of things – if your lawyer isn't fully informed of your case and has time to study the facts – you may find that it doesn't matter how good your lawyer is.
