the Price of a DUI Lawyer

I was charged with a DUI where a blew a .1 in a state where the legal limit is .08. A hired a lawyer to defend me in my criminal case where i was going to plead innocent. My goals were to stay out of jail and try to retain my state drivers license.

The lawyer handled every aspect of the case from my initial appearance, to all the paper work and finally the plea bargain agreement. I never had to appear in front of the judge. Since I was 37 and it was my first DUI he arranged a deal where I would have to spend a weekend in a rehab driving school' and lose my license for a total of six months. With the license suspension I was allowed work privileges. I also was put on a one year probation. Compared to what punishment others have received from the state of Ohio I feel my attorney did a really good job. He was kind and understanding through out the entire process.

No matter what do not drink and drive. The best that can happen is that you get caught and pay a really steep financial price. The worst that can happen is that you kill yourself or someone else over stupidity.
