Description of service
I needed a lawyer to defend me in my DUI case where I blew a .10, which is .02 over the legal limit. I was in jeopardy of going to jail for six months,losing my drivers license for a year and a $2000 fine.
Review of Service
My attorney did a great job. I never even had to appear in front of the judge. He handled the case from initial appearance all the way through deposition. He arrived at a deal with the city prosecutor and brought it to me for approval. My fine would be $500. I would get no jail time for the first offense DUI, but I would have to go to a weekend alcohol awareness course. My drivers license were suspended for six months but I got work privileges after only fifteen days. I also accepted one year of unsupervised probation. This was a much better result than I thought it would be.
Tips
If you are ever unfortunate enough to get yourself into this situation make sure you get a good attorney who is experienced in DUI law. Ask friends and family if they have recommendations. If no one you know can help you try searching the internet for well known lawyers in your area. Typically a good lawyer will be honest if he or she is the best to handle your case. They may even recommend someone who is.
