Commonly Asked DUI/DWI Questions From Users Near You

This information is not legal advice and is not guaranteed to be correct, complete or up-to-date. It is provided for general informational purposes only. If you need legal advice you should consult a licensed attorney in your area.

Can I plea for community service after being arrested for a DUI and first DUI was five years ago or will I have jail time?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
All prior DUI?s within ten years count as priors for penalty enhancement. However, your attorney may be able to keep you out of jail, even with a prior, if handled right. Your attorney can try to negotiate anything you want. Getting it depends upon the DA and Judge being persuaded by your attorney in a plea bargain. If you go to trial and lose, it is only jail that can be ordered. A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, n timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at the scheduled DMV appeal hearing to present your supporting evidence and witness testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When questioned, arrested or charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or statement be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? No amount of free 'tips and hints' from here or elsewhere are going to effectively help in a legal defense. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, programs, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, and if this is in SoCal courts, feel free to contact me. I'll be happy to help fight this and get the best outcome possible, using whatever defenses there may be.

Can I refuse a breathalyzer test?

Answered by attorney William Saul Kroger (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at William S. Kroger Jr.
If you refuse, they can still charge you and it increased your penalty with the DMV. You need to make sure to contact the DMV to set up a hearing and you should hire an attorney to help you.

Will I be charged or get into legal trouble if I was honest?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
You need to talk in person with a different lawyer. I don't know if you drove to the spot where you were arrested. If the cop saw you driving or what the circumstances were so I cannot give you an answer.
