Notable DUI Cases and Their Impact on Modern DUI Laws in Canada and the US

In the past, a driver's license was considered a privilege and not a right. The Bell vs. Burson allowed for a license to be a possession necessary for our livelihood. Therefore, it cannot be taken away without a due process.

Why Hiring the Right DUI Lawyer Can Help You Save Money in the Long Run

First time cases or any DUI charge should not be taken lightly. Dealing with your charges in court takes more than just money spent. Your reputation, license, and upcoming months can be sacrificed if you make the wrong moves as a defendant. A good DUI defense lawyer can get you through the case, either by dismissing your charges (should you be accused) or lessening your sentence (should evidence say guilty). They can also challenge the prosecution's testimony or statements from the law officers who handled your arrest. Their tricks of the trade will help you get ahead in your case. They will also be able to disprove scientific results from blood or Breathalyzer results to support your side of the case. Their knowledge can also be used to show the inconsistency of field sobriety tests--what accused you of being drunk in the first place. Your lawyer will also seek the maintenance records and legal certification for Breathalyzers and use this for your case during the court hearing.

Advantages of Hiring a Public DUI Attorney

Getting a decent lawyer may be too much of a financial burden for some people. A public DUI attorney is another option, given to accused that are facing jail time. Since jail time is one of the penalties in all DUI cases, a public attorney can be your affordable legal partner. This type of attorney is the first to approach you just after you've been arrested. They are usually provided by the state while you haven't opted to hire a private lawyer.

Get Your Drunk Driving Charge Reduced with the Help of a DUI Lawyer

For a driver with a spotless record in the past, a sudden DUI arrest can totally overthrow one's confidence. It will be a sudden taint to your reputation and everything else you need to do through travelling. The charge will certainly make the job hunt a lot more difficult to explain and ignore during the job interview. Certain cases have the possibility of having the DUI charge reduced to a reckless driving. If your lawyer and your case find favor in becoming a reckless driving case, then your driving history will be a lot easier to deal with. Your clean record will work to your advantage and the argument of your past as a law-abiding citizen can be used.

Hire a Good DUI Lawyer and Save your Drivers License

You risk having your driver's license taken away and suspended if you've been arrested for DUI. In certain states, it lasts for a minimum of 30 days. After which, you experience a suspension. The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can apply the "Stop and Snatch" law to suspend your privilege for more than one month to two years. The temporary license given won't be enough and some states don't even issue a temporary license. The hearing must be done within around fifteen days after your arrest or it will be automatically suspended. A personal request can be done while you're with your lawyer so you can at least have your driving right until the hearing. Request the hearing as soon as possible and get the details of license suspension after it has been taken from you.
