First, after consulting with a seasoned DUI attorney, individuals
should understand that their best bet to fight a potential jail sentence
is to be honest and survey all possible pleas, as the prosecuting
attorney’s office will be hard at work trying to sew together a case
against the defendant. Some people who are charged with a DUI may
think a guilty plea will end up in their favor; however, there are
several issues that can actually win a case before the trial goes to
court. Attorneys like Michael Vereen look at all available reports
pertaining to the arrest. These lawyers’ knowledge of the criminal
system can sometimes allow them to dispute specific points of the
case before it ever reaches the courtroom. Also, if any information
was collected in an illegal manner, an attorney will be able to get that
data thrown out of court so the prosecuting lawyer can’t use it
against the defendant.
While the first step in dealing with the legal repercussions of a DUI is
consulting a trustworthy lawyer, individuals who refused the
breathalyzer test, or those who took the test and were found to have
a blood alcohol level over the legal limit (.08), should be aware of the
possibility of losing their license because of a suspension that can be
enacted up to 10 days after the arrest. For more information about
