If you don’t think you need an attorney for your DUI, think again! Here is what you may be facing after your arrest for DUI:
A DUI conviction could lead to serious consequences, including jail and significant fines. For an overview of the potential fines, jail time and other criminal consequences of a DUI, see DUI Laws and Punishment
In addition to the criminal consequences of a DUI, after arrest for DUI, the driver has only 10 days (including weekends and holidays) to request a DMV hearing. Otherwise, the driver is at risk of an automatic license suspension. Fight for your rights! Contact the DMV or contact the Law Office of Peter A Duarte to assist you in securing a DMV hearing!
Drivers charged with a DUI offense can succeed in court appearances and at DMV hearings, but these processes are extremely complex. The penalty for a conviction is high, but a conviction is not the only possible outcome. You can fight a drunk driving case and avoid a conviction with the help of an experienced DUI defense attorney.
