If you are one of the many Americans who are arrested on a daily basis for a DUI then there are some pitfalls to avoid if you want the best legal outcome for your case.
1. Don't fail to see the seriousness of this event. A DUI can remain on your record for 5 years to life!
2. Don't fail to hire a "DUI attorney". Sure you can hire a run of the mill criminal attorney but you need a specialist for your situation.
3. Don't plead guilty at your first appearance. There are defenses for nearly every situation and you need to let the legal process play out and find out what your options are before you throw in the towel.
4. Don't fail to file for an administrative hardship hearing in the first 10 days after your arrest. This could determine how soon you get to drive again.
5. Don't drive if your license has been suspended. You risk jail time and big time fines.
6. Don't fail to show up for your court hearing. You don't need a ticked off judge to make an example out of you!
