Why a Indian River County DUI Attorney?

Retaining Legal Counsel to Fight DUI Charges in Vero Beach, Sebastian and South Beach

Are you a driver facing DUI charges in Indian River County? You may wonder why to consider involving an attorney to handle your case. Like any legal matter, dealing with DUI (driving under the influence) charges has the potential to be highly complex and also stressful. Drunk driving charges and arrests are a particularly specific area of criminal law that are best approached only with the help of an experienced DUI defense attorney. The prosecution will attempt to get you to accept a plea bargain or will seek a criminal conviction based upon field sobriety test results, breath or blood test results and the arresting officer’s testimony against you. Your only chance at keeping your criminal record clean is to involve a lawyer who can challenge this evidence, whether it is the manner in which it was collected or processed or is related to the test’s validity or accuracy. This specialized area can be difficult to maneuver without specific experience in this field.

An experienced Indian River County DUI attorney can work to protect your legal rights not only in criminal court but at your DHSMV hearing as well, which is held regarding the suspension of your driver’s license in conjunction with a failed or refused breath/blood test. When you are arrested for suspected drunk driving, you have only 10 days to schedule this hearing or your license will be automatically suspended. Your attorney can schedule this hearing for you and can represent you at the hearing to help you avoid license suspension. This can also act as preparation for handling your criminal case.
