Have you been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs? If so, you’re probably aware that this could change your life in a number of ways.
If convicted, you’ll soon find that the penalties can be quite severe. Not only can this impact your personal life, but it can also have a negative effect on your finances and professional goals.
From the start, you need to answer questions such as:
— Why was your vehicle pulled over by the officer?
— Is there any other explanation as to why you may have been driving in an erratic manner?
— Were all legal procedures followed by the arresting officer?
— What type of equipment was used to measure your sobriety?
— Were there any discrepancies associated with your arrest?
Along with the above, you should clearly understand the many phases of a DUI charge. In other words, there is more to this than the arrest itself and subsequent court proceeding. You should also consider:
— Driver’s license suspension and any revocation hearing.
— Any related traffic violations, such as if you were also charged with speeding.
— The complexities of being a minor charged with driving under the influence.
