Absolutely plead not guilty. They must prove you were so intoxicated that you could not care for your own safety or the safety of others. Certainly not what you describe. Either get a lawyer to handle this for you or if you cannot afford one, request a public defender.

Can I fire my attorney if I don't feel he is qualified?

Mark A. Broughton
Answered by attorney Mark A. Broughton (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Mark A. Broughton, PC
It is impossible to tell you whether or not you can get a reduction without knowing more about the case, but a good criminal defense attorney will know how to handle it. DUIs have become very complicated cases and you stand a much better chance in getting the best result possible with an experienced criminal defense attorney, one who knows the law and procedure and is not hesitant to take a case to trial if that is what it takes. If you have privately retained (hired) your own attorney you can discharge him and hire another attorney. If you have a public defender who was appointed by the court you are not entitled to select another one simply because you want another attorney. But there is a procedure for discharging him/her if he/she is not properly handling your case. If you ask the judge to address him on this issue he will conduct a hearing and decide if another attorney should be appointed for you.

Is there a statue of limitations on being charged with a suspected DUI and haven't had to appear in court and it is almost 1 year?

A) these questions should be directed to the attorney you hired. B) the statute of limitations has to do with how long they have to file a case, not how long a case can drag on.
