Having an experienced attorney can make all the difference in your DUI case. A good DUI lawyer can help reduce the number of times you have to go to court, with the prosecutor to try to reach an agreement that avoids a trial, and they can attend many of the court hearings on your behalf. A knowledgeable DUI lawyer can work with you to develop a great defense. They can also help you understand the potential consequences of a DUI conviction such as fines, license suspension, community service, and even jail time, as well as long-term consequences like difficulty obtaining employment or housing and increased insurance rates.
