When you’ve been accused of a DUI, you must contact an attorney immediately even before you have been formally charged. A professional DUI attorney will know exactly what to do in the first hours after your arrest. There are many reasons why this will strengthen your defense.
Here’s one of the Top 10 Reasons Why You Should Hire an Attorney Now.
1. This Won’t Go Away
When you’re accused of a DUI and convicted, you may face license suspension, hefty fines, jail time and of course damage to your reputation both professionally and socially. Employers may be reluctant to hire you or disqualify right from the get go. Your family and social life may be affected too. This is a serious matter and needs to be dealt with by a serious professional.
The worst thing you can do is ignore this situation and delay. If the police stopped you and you were over the BAC limit of .08% you will be charged. Even if you were not over the limit but the cops thought you were incapable of safe driving, they can still charge you.
For many people, this is their first serious run-in with the law. You may feel scared, angry, and disappointed. You may want to just block out the incident and focus on other things. That is really only possible after you have dealt with this matter. This won’t magically go away. In fact, the longer you wait, the more difficult defending your case will become. If you are without an attorney, you can be in serious trouble. This is why you should hire a professional DUI attorney to start on the case so you can focus on putting everything back together.
