Common DUI Defense Mistakes

  • Not Trying to Fight- One of the most common mistakes that people make when it comes to DUI defense is assuming that they do not have a good argument, or in other words, they don’t even try to fight the charge. No matter the circumstances of your DUI charge, our team can put together a strong defense that can minimize the consequences you face.
  • Hiring the Cheapest Lawyer- Those who do hire lawyers to defend them from DUI charges often fall victim to another mistake, which is hiring their attorney based only on the fee. You want the best possible DUI defense, and you will rarely get the best results from the cheapest lawyer.
  • Lying to Their Attorney- A third mistake that many people make in DUI defense cases is not giving their attorney accurate information. Your lawyer can only provide an effective defense if they have all the facts of the case, so lying to them is essentially shooting yourself in the foot. Even if the facts are unflattering, you should always be honest with your lawyer in order to get the robust defense you need.
