Dacula DUI Lawyer
Hiring a Dacula DUI lawyer to defend you against your drunk-driving charges can help increase your chances of a successful outcome. Many people who are unfamiliar with the legal system make the mistake of appearing in court without a lawyer, while expecting the judge to show mercy. This is rarely successful, and often results in serious penalties.Even if you are facing your first DUI offense, the judge could sentence you to serve jail time, pay hefty fines, attend alcohol education classes, perform community service, and then report for probation. Your driver’s license may also be suspended for up to a year and the installation of an ignition interlock device on your vehicles could be required. Repeat offenders face increased penalties if convicted.
In some cases, a portion of a jail sentence may be suspended in lieu of probation. During probation, you must adhere to the many conditions or you will be required to serve out the remainder of your jail sentence. Probation conditions may include regularly checking in with your probation officer, attending AA meetings, and avoiding any additional criminal offenses.
Auto insurance is expensive as it is, but with a DUI on your record, your insurance premiums will skyrocket. In some cases, your insurer may decide that you are too high risk to insure and drop your coverage altogether.
A Dacula drunk driving conviction will result in a criminal record that lasts a lifetime. Accessible by third parties, your criminal record will be seen every time you apply for a job, housing, or a loan. If a potential employer requires a clean criminal background or driving record, you may lose out on employment opportunities.
