Should You Hire a Lawyer if You Plan to Take a Guilty Plea?
If you intend on taking a plea deal, having a lawyer on your side can make a difference between a severe sentence versus a more lenient one. If you accept a plea with minimal or no negotiation, you are running the risk of having a more serious conviction on your record.
With the right help, a plea bargain can often result in a lesser charge, a reduced sentence, or reduce your punishment. If you hire an experienced lawyer, they may be able to negotiate an arrangement with the court so that you achieve a favorable result. You should consult your lawyer before making any decisions regarding a plea agreement. They will be able to tell you everything you need to know about the consequences of pleading guilty.
What Should You Do if You Are Charged With DUI?
Due to how time-sensitive DUI charges are you must act on them immediately. After an arrest, the most important thing you can do is find an attorney who will request a DMV hearing for your case as soon as possible. Having an experienced lawyer can help make sure you retain your driving privileges throughout your case and all possible defenses have been put forth.
