Drunk Driving, DUI and DWI Drunk Driving, DUI and DWI Legal Help 
Legal help for those charged with drunk drivingget the legal help you deserve! If you're one of many who's been arrested and charged with a drinking and driving-related offense, you face a stiff legal challenge, but all is far from lost. Depending on where you were charged, the nature of your offense could be called: DUI (driving under the influence) DWI (driving while intoxicated) OWI (operating while intoxicated) OUI (operating under the Influence) Regardless of the moniker given to your alleged offense, your rights and next advisable steps are largely the same. Below is a brief look at how a DUI-related offense will usually proceed, but the first thing you need to do is contact a DUI defense attorney immediately, as there are time-sensitive components of every DUI case. "...the worst thing you can do if you've been charged with an offense such as this one is to wait and hope it resolves itself." Your First Obstacle As stated, the worst thing you can do if you've been charged with an offense such as this one is to wait and hope it resolves itself. Simply put, it will not go away, and you'll soon realize that when your DUI attorney explains to you that you only have a certain amount of time to appear before your state's Department of Motor Vehicles for an administrative hearing. Although the timeframes are somewhat different between jurisdictions, an example of such a timeframe would be a California DUI case, where the defendant has 10 days to schedule a hearing with the DMV. Failure to proceed properly with the DMV will result in an automatic revocation of your driving privileges, so you need to contact a DUI attorney immediately to get that process started. Your Final Obstacle Aside from the administrative aspect of your DUI case, you still need to properly prepare for your case as it will be handled in the courthouse. This process is generally separate and distinct from the DMV hearing, but that doesn't mean that both shouldn't receive your full attention and the help of a DUI attorney who understands this process. Your DUI attorney will be able to provide you with recommendations regarding your situation, and he or she will also be able to provide you with realistic expectations as to the ultimate results of your case. Rest assured that you do have rights and options in regards to your defense, but you need to assert them if they're to be honored. Contact a DUI attorney today to schedule an initial consultation, as the longer you wait to protect yourself, the worse the ultimate result could turn out to be. Act now to work towards saving your driving privileges and minimizing the consequences of your DUI arrest. Begin Your Free Review Form
