If you are arrested for a DUI one of the first things you
want to do is consult with a lawyer that specializes in DUIs. While you can
certainly represent yourself in court, it is not the best idea—remember the
saying: He who represents himself in court has a fool for a client.
Consulting with a DUI
Accident Lawyer
What happens when you decide to disobey the law and drive
after you've been drinking? Even worse, what happens if you have an accident? You
can be sure you won’t be walking away with just a minimal fine, and if the
accident causes personal injuries there will be even more questions you will
have to answer. If you choose to drink and drive you must be prepared to hire a
drunk driving accident lawyer at some point
because eventually your luck will run out. At Legal-Yogi.com
we warn offenders to keep the following in mind if you have an accident while
drinking and driving:
- Expect to pay higher fines
- Possible jail time
- If someone dies you can face manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide charges depending on the district attorney
- The family of injured or deceased victim may file a civil lawsuit against you
- Felony conviction on your criminal record
All of the above are serious charges, so you do not want to
attempt to go into court without a lawyer. For more information or to speak to
a Legal Yogi consultant fill out the form you find on the website. Someone will
contact you shortly.
Working with DUI
Attorneys
It isn’t a good idea to think you will be able to avoid
being caught if you drink and drive. Many states have DUI checkpoints and
utilize them frequently, especially on weekends and holidays. While drunk driving attorneys can certainly help a driver receive
a reduced charge, the only hope for getting off is to prove you are innocent.
We have seen many people at Legal Yogi who think they can beat the system, but
it just doesn’t work that way.
Hiring a DUI Lawyer
A word of advice: don’t be a fool and drink and drive. My
best friend’s husband thought he was capable of driving after drinking, and he
didn’t even drive! He was caught going to his car and starting the engine in
the club’s parking lot. His excuse that he was waiting for his wife didn’t
work, and he had to hire a drunk driving lawyer
in order to get a reduced charge.
Drunk driving is a serious offense—even more so if you have
an accident. Take some time to visit Legal-Yogi.com and browse through the enormous
