Am I looking at mandatory jail time on first dui with hitand run

Russell Thomas Kirshy
Answered by attorney Russell Thomas Kirshy (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Russell T. Kirshy Attorney at Law
It sounds like you have been arrested for two misdemeanor offenses.  While I don't believe there is any mandatory jail sentence required for these offenses, you should really speak to an experienced criminal defense attorney as soon as possible.  Some counties may want jail time due to the hit and run.  If this occurred in Lee, Hendry, Charlotte, Desoto, Sarasota or Manatee counties, you can call my office and I will be happy to discuss it with you.

What are my chances of getting my DUI arrest dismissed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Charles D. Scott (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Charles D. Scott PLLC
You will most likely not be able to get a DUI arrest dismissed, but there are several options for you to consider. First, you can take the case to trial, either with a jury or just a judge (a bench trial).  The State must prove your guilt beyond all reasonable doubt, and you don't have to prove anything or testify.  Second, you can ask the State Attorney to reduce the charges to reckless driving. This normally requires that you have a lawyer review the case and send a written request to the state outlining the reasons why the charge should be reduced. Third you can enter a plea agreement for a minimum mandatory disposition on the DUI charge. As for getting the State Attorney to simply say never mind and drop the charge, this will probably not happen.  The state can prosecute the case without a breath test and without field sobriety tests. They can rely on the police officers observations regarding your condition, if your eyes were red and glassy, your breath smelled of alcohol, you had poor balance, you slurred your speech, etc.  In some cases, a breath test or field sobriety tests could actually help you prove that you were not impaired. In your case, you don't have these pieces of evidence and the state will rely solely on the officers opinion.  You can be convicted based upon the opinion evidence of the officer.
