I need dui help. I am 18. My BAC percent was .152. Monroe, Louisiana was where I was arrested.
Either the bail bond guy or the cop that arrested me told me there is no point in getting an attorney ’cause of my situation. But I want to know if that’s true? I really dont wanna lose my license for six months + two years probation, plus the $1000+ fine, and the classes/community service… that is ****. The fine and classes/service sure, but I dont want the license suspension or probation! Please!
Is there any hope at all? I also am charged with speeding 53 in 35 and improper lane use.
Yes, get a lawyer. Having one will do you no harm, and might possibly help you avoid the stiffest penalties for your offenses.
Having said that … most District Attorneys have a real axe to grind for minors in possession of alcohol and/or minor DWI. There are organizations (local, state and national level) that are fighting to prevent any reduction in charges for alcohol related offenses.
With a lawyer, there is a very slim chance that you will not lose your license. Without a lawyer … you have no chance at all of keeping your license on conviction.
