Recently a man was pulled over twice in the same night for driving under the influence. The second time, his blood alcohol level had gone up by more than .100. Obviously, he’d had a few more drinks in the hour and a half that he’d been out of jail. In another incident, a woman called 911 to report herself to police. Neither of these drivers had a Sarasota DUI attorney, so what will happen to them in court is unclear. What is known is that the penalties for driving while impaired can be stiff. If you don’t have qualified help, the consequences can be long lasting and severe.
It’s always refreshing to see a celebrity take responsibility for their actions and make restitution. Recently, Mel Gibson completed his probationary period for having a DUI and had it removed from his record. He attended AA and also did community service. More importantly, he hasn’t had another DUI offense in the ensuing time period. He likely had good representation as well, such as could be provided by a Sarasota DUI attorney. Thanks to that and his effort to take responsibility, he is putting the incident behind him and moving on. This is just one advantage that having a qualified attorney can provide.
Everyone is aware that it is just not smart to drive while impaired. It’s dangerous, both to yourself and to other drivers on the road. However, many people make poor judgement calls, usually a one time event, and end up paying dearly for it. As a first time offender, you really need to call in a Sarasota DUI lawyer. They can advise you better than anyone else on what to expect and are prepared to mitigate the consequences as much as possible. read more…

They may have thought better of driving after one, two, or more beers. I encourage you to contact a sarasota dui lawyer, who will not focus on whether you are right or wrong. He will place his focus on how to get you off the hook. Did the arresting officer perform the tests correctly? Were they done in a distracting environment? This is how a sarasota dui lawyer will think. Defense attorneys know it will not be an easy case. DUI cases never are. But defense attorneys love a good challenge. read more…
