Defined Tag: DUI Lawyer.

Introduction

Penalties for driving under the influence widely differ, ranging from hefty fines, license suspensions and license revocations to serious jail time. And the trend is increasingly toward stricter law and severe penalties. As bad as getting arrested is, the legal consequences of DUI are far less dreadful than the potential human consequence - loss of life, permanent disability, traumatized families and distraught finances.

A law enforcement officer can halt a suspect and administer a field sobriety test, if the officer feels that the person is under the influence of alcohol or other illegal substances. If however you decline to submit to a test, or fail to complete a field test, your driving license will be suspended for a period of six months.

You may not have right to speak to a DUI lawyer or have an DUI lawyer present before stating whether you will submit to a test, before deciding which test to take, or during the administration of the test selected. The reason you are not allowed a DUI lawyer at that time is because the effect of the alcohol could be gone if it took several hours for your DUI lawyer to appear.

DUI lawyer charges

The DUI lawyer fees depends both the level of skills and location. A veteran DUI lawyer may charge anywhere from $3000 to $20000 for a first-time offense. These DUI lawyers have attained such superiority and reputation that they, as with exceptional doctors, are entitled to expect higher charges.

The DUI lawyer fees also factors in the penalties, amount of time needed and intricacy of the case. You may be able to find a novice DUI lawyer for next-to-nothing but all they may do is plea you guilty. As they say, you get what you pay for.

Even if you fail a breath, blood or urine test a brilliant DUI lawyer knows many ways to counter the results. The strategy ranges from arguing that the officer did not vigilantly monitor you the time duration required by law or that the breath machine was out of order by attacking the manner, method and time of calibration of the machine, the number and proximity of breath tests. There are many more such areas that a competent DUI lawyer may exploit and help you win the case.

Conclusion

Depending on the state’s specific laws and the circumstances surrounding drunk driving accidents, it is strongly recommended to get in touch with a DUI lawyer right away to learn the legal rights and alternatives available.
