Getting a DUI is easy to do if you're foolish enough to get behind the wheel of an automobile having drank alcohol, taken illegal drugs, or taken prescription medications that impair your ability to drive. Police officers, helicopters, special task forces, even the public at large is on the look-out for impaired driving, so the odds of getting a DUI in this situation is extremely high.The DUI penalties are also very harsh and should not be taken lightly. In fact, a first time offender with a misdemeanor DUI could face an entire year in jail; it's that serious. The best and really only prudent course of action is to sit down with several DUI lawyers and figure out which one has the best chance of working the system to get your case dismissed or to greatly reduce your sentence.All really good DUI attorneys are almost always able to accomplish these legal goals. They can be expensive, but they are worth every single dime because they can save your behind from jail time as well as saving you thousands of dollars in fines and penalties, not to mention if your case is dismissed then you won't have to walk around with a DUI on your record. Now, that will be a heck of a good feeling, won't it?Working the system may sound unethical to some, but the system was put into place in order to protect our rights. Now you may not be completely innocent but do you deserve a year in jail for a first offense? Won't you do everything in your power in order to get your case thrown out? Won't you amend your driving ways in the future? Most people would probably answer - yes -- to all these questions.Don't monkey around with an attorney that doesn't know what they're doing, one without a long record of success, and one who doesn't focus only on DUI cases.It's critical that you hire a DUI lawyer with a reputation at the criminal court house and at the D.A.'s office. These attorneys aren't cheap, but the chances that they'll get your case dismissed or get you a reduced sentence is virtually assured. That's how the system really works in the real world. It may seem like insider justice, but that's the reality of the situation. If you've been charged with a DUI it's time to play hardball or you could find yourself behind bars and in debt.A superior DUI lawyer, not only has a great reputation, they also are intimately familiar with the way the system works and where the cracks are. These are the cracks that you'll be hoping to fall through on your way to a complete dismissal. The law is written broadly and it's up to the prosecution to bring a completely air tight case, a case which is often difficult to bring because of mistakes made by the arresting officers and other similar errors. A great defense attorney knows all the cracks, all of them, and in explicit detail.Getting a DUI is easy, but getting a dismissal or a light sentence is going to cost you, in the form of a great DUI attorney. But you really can't afford the alternative - losing your driver's license, thousands of dollars in fines, and jail time. Do the right thing and start looking for your DUI attorney right now.
