My DUI Lawyer

I’m in a huge dilemma here. I’ll get to my dui arrest in a minute. I was fishing outside of Chesapeake and I had two rock fish that were below the legal limit on my stringer. Here is the problem. I had the department of natural resources I believe?? come up to me and ask me for my fishing license. I did not have one so I attempted to talk my way out of it. He was fine until he saw my stringer. He pulled my stringer from the water and saw 2 rock fish that were not of legal size and apparently out of season. He turned to me to ask my name and my instincts took control and I punched in the face. I jumped in my car and attempted to flee. Unfortunately, I was pulled over by the cops about a mile down the road. The big problem is I was intoxicated and arrested for assault and battery, fishing without a license, fishing out of season, resisting arrest and driving drunk. Furthermore, when I arrived at the police station I spit on an officer. I need some serious advice pleaseeee. This is not a joke - just give me names!!! Thank you!

Wow, you are in a heap of trouble. Not only do you have the state charge of DWI but also the charge against fishing out of season.
What were you thinking? Virginia has a pretty strict law on Drunk Driving , but pretty lax on dnr infractions. I don’t care about a couple of undersized Rockfish, they are only fish by the way, that’s all.

A friend of mine just received his 4th DWI offense in TEXAS while on probation from his prior conviction. What is the minimum or maximum sentence? He obviously needs REHAB but what should we do to take the next steps? Any drunk driving attorneys to help or get some advice?

The third conviction in ten years and subsequent convictions is a felony of the 3rd degree. Felony 3 punishment is no less than 2 and no more than 10 years. Having been already convicted of a felony 3rd he can now be enhanced to a felony 2 which is 2-20 years and the fine can be 10 thousand for either grade felony.

Being on parole or probation, that will now be gone and he will have to serve out the remainder of that sentence as well.

Has he already been convicted or just charged? If he hasn’t gone to court yet there’s always a chance his attorney could make a plea agreement.

If convicted or no plea arrangement is made I don’t see him avoiding prison, at least a 180 day shock sentence. He needs an attorney and I would not go with a court appointed attorney.

Since launching this dui video campaign in 1983, more than 68% of Americans exposed to the advertising have tried to prevent someone from driving drunk. In 1998, America experienced its lowest number of alcohol-related fatalities since the U.S. Department of Transportation began keeping records. Campaign taglines have included: “Drinking & Driving Can Kill A Friendship” and “Friends Don’t Let Friends Drive Drunk.”

A couple weeks ago I was cited for underage drinking and driving and minor consumption in the state of Minnesota. I’ve spoken to a few attorneys and learned that their rates range between $2000 and $2500. The attorneys have told me that they could possibly get the underage d & d dropped. The problem is I cannot afford an attorney, I’m a 19-year-old student and I was barely able to pay the towing fee. I do have parents however who would be willing to pay for a dwi attorney if it was absolutely worth it.

I could apply for a public defender and likely get one due to my financial situation but I dont like the fact that I meet them on the court date and never get to speak with the prosecuting attorney.

Neither, hopefully my boyish charms succeeds in wooing the prosecuting attorney and she takes it easy on me.

I have absolutely no idea which to choose, anybody familiar with any of this and know which is the best route?
Richard, thanks for the insight. I was thinking that hiring an attorney would probably be a bad decision, I’d be paying $2000 with no guarantee and I can handle losing my license for 30 days.

So judging by your vehement defending of pd’s i’m guessing that you would suggest going with a pd, which honest was the route I was planning on going.

Thanks a lot for the advice, its nice to hear from someone with the knowledge who isn’t asking for money in return for information.

justwond…….- dude…you’ve got to be kidding me, grow up man. I’ll ‘loose’ the charm when I’m good and ready.

A Public Defender *IS* an attorney.

“The attorneys have told me that they could possibly get the underage d & d dropped.”

And they could possibly persuade the DA to buy you flowers and pay your towing fee for you. The relevant word is “possibly”.

In most jurisdictions, the PD’s are the most experienced defense attorneys working the courtroom. As an adult, your parents finances will not be taken into account in deciding whether you qualify for a PD’s services or not.

If there are legal grounds to challenge the arrest or the citation a PD will spot them. If there aren’t, you could hire OJs ‘dream team’ and you’d STILL go down. Since PD’s are in court against the same DA’s every day of their lives they know them, and the judges, better than anyone else, and know which ones will deal which crimes, and which ones won’t.

“I dont like the fact that I meet them on the court date and never get to speak with the prosecuting attorney.”

NO lawyer will let his client talk to the DA. Anything you say to the DA is not privileged, and can be held against you in court. If you want a lawyer to ‘hold your hand’, cough up the $2,000.

To Chris…… there’s a reason that PD’s clients are found guilty more often. They ARE guilty more often. The *smart* person who’s been caught dead to rights and knows it doesn’t waste his money on paying a private lawyer.

To Mark….. A defendant should NOT talk to the DA himself under *ANY* circumstances. I have lost count of the clients who’ve said OK when the DA asks them if they want to talk about a plea bargain, and then when the “chat” is over the DA says “Sorry, no plea bargain – you’ve just given me enough of a confession to get a conviction on the original charge.”

I have a question and I’m curious which option is the better one to take, if you are pulled over and asked to step out of your car and you know that you’ve had too much to drink and most likely intoxicated.

The officer will usually ask you to submit to a breath test? Should you submit or should you refuse and defer all decisions till you have a chance to discuss with an attorney? I’ve heard either way, you will be cuffed and taken down to the police station. I’ve had people tell me, you never “blow” (test).
Please don’t over-react, as I’m just asking the question. I have NEVER been pulled over by a cop, suspecting that I been drinking and I hope it NEVER happens. I’ve been very careful about not getting behind a wheel, after having more than a couple drinks and even if I do drive, I make sure that my couple drinks are seperated by enough time in between and I’m eating something too
i should have re-phrased my question, as I never intended for this to be about what is the RIGHT thing to do. I know the right thing to do is NEVER get behind a wheel and drive if you’ve been drinking.

The question is, in defense of the intoxicated driver, to limit or minimize the legal impact that this potential drunk driver will or may have to face, is it in his/her best interest to do the breath test or just refuse and let the cop take you in and then, consult with your attorney?

DO NOT do anything with out your attorney!!!!!!

Have the officer read your miranda rights, hand cuff you and take you to jail.

NO talking!!!!!
