DRUNK DRIVING (DUI)

We’ve all heard horror stories about the inherent dangers in drunk driving. Getting behind the wheel of a car while inebriated is risky – for yourself and for others. However, while the laws are written in black and white, life is not so polar. There are many extenuating circumstances that may lead to such a conviction. Difficult situations may seem to fly out of left field, and people make mistakes. It’s only human.

In dealing with the legal side of drunk driving, it’s important to find a lawyer who knows that just breaking a law doesn’t make you a “bad person” by default. Our legal system is based around restitution, rehabilitation, and justice.

Finding the right counsel can mean the difference between unnecessary jail time and fines, and paying one’s debt in a fair and just manner. Sentencing can be a tricky issue in cases that involve drunk driving. Was anyone hurt? Was there property damage? What were the circumstances which led to your operation of the vehicle?

These questions are important.

Unfortunately, there are times when the courts may get overwhelmed with cases of various natures. When this happens, the individual and the context of the crime may be overlooked. However, the right defense attorney will ensure that all the facts are made clear.

The uncertainty and stress of a pending conviction are often too hard to handle alone. This is why we have lawyers, after all. To aid you in getting past this hurdle and returning to your day-to-day life, make sure you pick a well-experienced and thoughtful lawyer. Taking the time to do your research can drastically reduce your fees, fines, and community service.
