If you have been arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence, it’s important to know you have options to protect your rights and reputation. DUI convictions come with serious consequences that negatively impact your future. Your best chance at avoiding this and achieving a more favorable outcome is to hire an attorney who specializes in DUI cases.  

3 Reasons to Work With a DUI Attorney

1. Knowledge of DUI Laws

Criminal defense attorneys stay-up-to-date on all the latest DUI laws and will know how they specifically relate to your situation. Your legal counsel will leverage this knowledge to establish a strong defense and will also be familiar with paperwork requirements and deadlines to prevent delays in the progression of your case.

2. Experience Disputing the Evidence

The evidence in DUI cases is often based on sobriety tests, such as breathalyzers. With an attorney on your side, you can take comfort in knowing it doesn’t automatically mean you’re guilty if you failed a test. They understand the science behind how these tests work and can call into question the validity of their results.

3. Skill in Penalty Negotiations 

Driving under the influence is a serious offense. If convicted, there’s the possibility you would have to pay a large fine, do some jail time, and lose your driver’s license. Even if an attorney can’t get the charges against you completely dismissed, they may be able to negotiate lesser penalties.
