SPECIAL REPORT:
The 10 biggest mistakes
most people make after being arrested for a DWI, DUI
in
Long Island, Suffolk County, Southampton, New York . . . and how to avoid them.
- Not taking the matter seriously. This is a charge
that will follow you for the rest of your life, if
you are convicted. The additional insurance charges
alone could cost you thousands of dollars.
- Not hiring a New York DWI lawyer. The law is complex and
you need competent representation. You must raise
the right defenses at the right time or you will
lose them. Facts will disappear, memories fade and
witnesses vanish. A winnable case can quickly become
a loser.
- Hiring a New York DWI lawyer based on the amount of the fee
alone. The State has almost unlimited resources
when it comes to your drunk driving case. You need to hire a
New York DWI lawyer
and pay a fee which will allow him to put time and
effort into your case to counter the prosecution.
DWI, DUI defense attorneys must earn enough in the time they spend on
your case in order to keep their doors open and make
a living wage. If you go too low, your DWI, DUI
defense attorney will
not be able to put in the time necessary to protect
you. Look for a reasonable, predictable fee, not the
lowest.
- Not complying with driver's license laws. You
could lose your right to drive.
- Driving after your license has been taken away.
- Not taking full advantage of your constitutional
rights.
- Taking the prosecutor's first offer. The first
offer is not a bargain, it's just to get rid of your
DWI, DUI case with the least amount of work. Very few
DWI, DUI cases
are dismissed or reduced to a non-alcohol charge at
this stage. You do not give the judge an opportunity
to rule on constitutional challenges. You give up
your right to raise these issues and make the State
prove it's case.
- Fail to appear in Court. The Court will issue a
bench warrant for your arrest and revoke any bond.
The next time you are stopped for a traffic
infraction, you will be spending some time in jail
and posting a bond for your future appearances.
- Talking to anyone but a New York DWI
lawyer about your
drunk driving case. Anything you say to them can be used against
you.
- Think that talking to numerous DWI, DUI
defense attorneys will
help you handle it on your own. You need to have a
New York DWI lawyer go to Court with you.
