Reader’s Question:

I have been arrested and charged with DUI here in Jacksonville, Florida. I know some people who were charged with the same and regret that they didn’t hire the services of a DUI lawyer. But, how can a DUI lawyer really help me in my case?

A DUI arrest in Jacksonville, Florida triggers two different types of cases. The first one is the administrative case that deals with your driving privileges. Just being arrested for DUI, without even being convicted, is actually enough to have your driving privileges revoked for a time period that corresponds with the number of convictions you have had for DUI and any other special circumstances. The second case is a criminal one where you will be prosecuted for the crime of DUI.

A DUI lawyer could help you in so many ways. He/she can help you prepare for the case and he/she would review evidence and also gather information that can be crucial in your DUI case. There could never be any guarantees but an experienced DUI lawyer on your side would give you a better chance of having a positive outcome on your DUI case than if you choose to represent yourself or work with a lawyer who is not a specialist on DUI cases. A DUI lawyer could actually have your charges reduced and could even have your case dismissed because only experienced DUI lawyers have access to expert witnesses.
