Have you been arrested and spent some time overnight in the drunk tank? Are you getting ready to go to DUI court to find out what you are going to be charged with and how much time you will spend in the jail cell? There are things you need to know about court when you get a DUI.
Here are some of the things to expect.
First, you should know what you could be facing and each state is different, but similar.
Most of the time you are looking at having your drivers license suspended, probation, community service, possible jail time, and alcohol awareness classes.
These will all cost you money and as strange as it sounds your community service will even cost you money.
Second, if you are going to DUI court you need to know what you could get if you take a lawyer with you.
If you get the right lawyer you can usually get a lighter penalty, but it still depends on the judge.
Most of the time the lawyers know the prosecutors and they can come up with a deal without the judge making a decision at all.
This would be good for you.
Last, there are ways to get out of a DUI if you are going to DUI court and this would be the best way for you to go.
This would allow you to get it off your record, spend no time in jail, and even get your bail money back in most cases.
This is a great way to go if you can find a way to get out of your DUI.
