If I'm pulled over for a DUI, what crimes are there?

Attorney Franks: There are 5 DUI charges. DUI refusal indicates you refused to take the test. DUI first infraction is a first crime. DUI second infraction means its your second DUI within a five year time frame. DUI 3rd infraction is a third DUI, or extra, in a 5 year period. Last but not least, an aggravated DUI, is a felony in addition to the third violation. Exacerbated indicates you injured someone in an accident as well as you were consuming above the lawful limits.

On a first DUI, can the police officer take my driver's license?

Attorney Franks: Yes. They will certainly give you a paper that says you have 30 days to go to trial, or your driver's license will certainly be suspended. What that indicates is you have 1 month to get a criminal justice attorney and also set it for trial. In case the court can not hear your case within 30 days, your attorney can move to have the duration expanded till the date the court can hear your case.

Can I speak for myself throughout proceedings?

Attorney Franks: I constantly inform every person, I can change the engine in my vehicle, but I'm possibly going to mess it up, due to the fact that I'm not a mechanic. You can speak for yourself, yet should you? No, you should not. I have seen more people convicted in courts attempting to represent themselves and also it's not because they are dumb. The reality is they don't understand the law and they do not recognize the rules of evidence. As a DUI attorney, I stay up to date with these things and leverage it for my customers to obtain them the best feasible end result. While you have the right to represent yourself, it is among those situations where on a regular basis, you're better off, and also it's more affordable, to go on and also employ an attorney that knows what they are carrying out in the DUI world.
