Questions to Ask After A DUI Arrest
Will I Lose My Driving Privileges? Loss of driving privileges is mandatory, ranging from 90 days to five years. If your job depends upon driving, you must get this penalty eliminated at a license revocation hearing. An Alabama DUI attorney such as the ones at The Shelnutt Law Firm, P.C., is skilled in preserving driving privileges for those charged with DUI. Is There Really a Way to Fight a DUI/DWI Charge and Win? The attorneys at The Shelnutt Law Firm know just how to obtain and use existing evidence and how to present it to the judge to defend you and your rights. We know the weaknesses of the system and legal angles you would never know about that could get your charges reduced or dismissed altogether. Will I Have to Go to Jail for a DUI/DWI? DUI penalties carry jail sentences of up to ten years, so, jail is not mandatory. A jail sentence can be devastating to your career, reputation, credit history, and may limit future opportunities. A skilled DUI attorney might get your sentence reduced or eliminated. Do I Really Need a Lawyer or Can I Just Show Up in Court on My Own? You really do need a lawyer because DUI attorneys know the law in a way that you cannot. We know how to handle these cases, and we know what your legal rights are following this charge. A DUI attorney can find evidence, or lack of it, and prepare a case that could get your charges dropped from your record. Defending yourself when your credibility is so low is not the wise thing to do.
