Do I need a lawyer for my first DUI?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
Not if you know how to effectively represent yourself against a professional prosecutor trying to convict you and put you in jail. If serious about hiring counsel to help you in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. Keep in mind a little free advice: When you are arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking you were given documents that included a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of an automatic one-year suspension of your license imposed by DMV. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the court. Contact DMV and do so, timely, then appear at your scheduled DMV hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things, then hire an attorney that does. If serious about hiring counsel to help you in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me.

If you were the victim of a crime, why would you think this would violate the terms and conditions of your probation? If you committed the battery, you have violated the terms and conditions of your conditional release (probation).

Maybe, People get charged for DUI in parked cars all the time. However, there is an actual physical control issue in everyone of these cases. Utah's DUI statute states, A person may not operate or be in actual physical control of a vehicle within the state if the person. has sufficient alcohol in the person?s body that a subsequent chemical test shows that the person has a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .08 grams or greater at the time of the test is under the influence of alcohol, any drug, or the combined influence of alcohol and any drug to a degree that renders the person incapable of safely operating a vehicle; has a blood or breath alcohol concentration of .08 grams or greater at the time of operation or actual physical control In Utah there are several nonexclusive factors for assessing whether a person is in actual physical control of a vehicle. the Richfield factors They are. Whether the person was asleep or awake in the vehicle, when the peace officer discovered them; Where the vehicle is positioned. Whether the vehicle's motor is running; Whether the person was in the driver?s seat of the vehicle, Whether the person was the sole occupant of the vehicle, Whether the person possessed the ignition key; The person?s apparent ability to start and move the vehicle. How the vehicle got to where it was discovered; and Whether the person drove the vehicle to the place it was discovered. Utah Courts evaluate these factors under the totality of the circumstances.
