“absolutely not the best time to hire a defense attorney when you're charged with DUI is immediately after you get charged Char and the reasons are a couple so number one there are a lot of things that happen in DUI cases that move very very quickly right after you get pulled over and arrested for DUI there are a number of deadlines especially when you have blood results pending that you have to be aware of and you have to watch for hiring an experienced criminal defense attorney to walk you through that process and to have your bag to make sure you're hitting all those deadlines so that you get those important dates locked in and you don't miss anything it's crucial”
“another thing is when you're dealing with this DUI process there are some proactive things that you can do to start preparing for your case before it even goes to court to start putting yourself in the best possible position to work with your attorney and to show the judge that you are very serious about this case and having an attorney on your side from the very beginning is going to help you navigate those things that you can do proactively and also help you avoid potential pitfalls that may come if you're trying to wait for blood results and figure out what's going on”
“the final thing is if you are waiting for blood results your attorney can actually contact the department of motor vehicles and say hey we have this client we know they're waiting on blood results we know you're going to notify them but we want you to notify us as well that way we can stay on top of it and the reason for that is the Department of Motor Vehicles will send a notification to your last known address that they have on file regarding your blood results but if something happens if you move or if you don't remember what address you had on file with them and they send it to the wrong address you're out of luck if you don't get that notification”
“absolutely not the best time to hire a defense attorney when you're charged with DUI is immediately after you get charged”
“that's why having an attorney on your case who's also reaching out proactively to the Department of Motor Vehicles making sure they're watching for that blood result is absolutely crucial”
“so the best time to hire a criminal defense attorney in any case honestly is immediately after you are charged but especially in DUI cases when you're waiting for blood results you need to have an attorney watching your back and making sure you're Crossing all your t's and dotting all your eyes so that you're set up in the absolute best position to fight the charges when it gets to court”
