I got a DUI here in Palm Beach, Florida and everyone is telling me that I should hire a lawyer. Do I really have to hire a lawyer to help me in my DUI case?

Yes, you have to hire a DUI lawyer as soon as you can after you have been charged with DUI in Palm Beach, Florida. If you don’t have your own DUI lawyer, you are very likely to be lost in the foggy maze of Florida’s drunk driving laws, which change every month or so. You badly need a DUI lawyer to watch out for time limits, negotiate for you, speak for you when necessary, complete and file all the paperwork correctly on time and generally fight for your best interests. An experienced DUI lawyer knows how to challenge the DUI stop, field sobriety tests, breath and/or blood alcohol tests and the DUI arrest or when you were already in custody.

A DUI charge in Florida could even cause you to lose your driving privileges and you would also have to pay higher insurance premium rates and it could also often lead to jail time, loss of your job and expenses and inconvenience. Sad to say, it could even give you a criminal record so hiring a DUI lawyer to help you and represent you would not be a bad idea.

The law really confuses me and even if I know that it’s far from happening, I still feel the urge to ask this question. If I will be arrested for DUI in Palm Beach, Florida, do I have the right to a lawyer before I decide whether or not to take a breath or blood test?

Earl

Palm Beach, FL

Florida DUI laws do not give anyone the right to speak with a lawyer prior to making the decision of whether or not to take the field sobriety tests, the breath test or blood test. Florida DUI laws also do not prohibit an officer from allowing a person to call a lawyer prior to making the decision on whether to take any field sobriety tests or the breath or blood test. Moreover, the law does not require anyone to perform any field sobriety tests or to take a breath or blood test.

If you will be contacting a DUI lawyer in Palm Beach, Florida prior to taking a breath or blood test, you will be exercising good and normal judgment. If you are already under arrest, you are entitled to contact a lawyer at this point. The officer might tell you that you don’t have the right to contact a lawyer at that time and the decision to take a blood or breath test is up to you. This is but a normal response from an officer but jurors might not like this because most people believe that anyone is entitled to a lawyer once he/she is arrested. If the officer tells you that the Courts have ruled that they don’t have to allow you to contact a lawyer, it doesn’t seem that they are being fair.

Finding a good DUI defense lawyer to help me on my DUI case in Palm Beach, Florida seems rather a not very simple thing to do. What is the utmost important thing that I should be careful about in getting a DUI lawyer?

Shanda

It pays to know the things that you should be careful about in hiring a DUI lawyer who would defend you in your DUI case in Palm Beach, Florida. There are some DUI lawyers who have deceptive advertising and you should be cautious about that. We can rightfully say that free market competition amongst lawyers is good but there are things that you should avoid.

Bait and switch applies to some law firms too. It is like meeting with a named DUI lawyer which is the one whose name appears on the door or in the yellow pages. Then that lawyer spends some time selling the services of his firm, hinting that he will be intricately involved in your DUI case. The lawyer has other highly skilled associate lawyers working for him/her and he/she will tell you that it is going to be a “team” effort. You have to ask that lead lawyer as to how many times will he/she will promise in writing to go to court with you. If the lawyer answers something like “we can’t promise that,” you can count that you’d never see that lawyer ever again after you give him/her your money.

My brother has been convicted for DUI in Florida and he asked me to help him find a cheap SR22 auto insurance. Will we ever find cheap SR22 here in Palm Beach, Florida?

Toni

Palm Beach, FL

You may have a hard time finding cheap SR22 auto insurance in Palm Beach, Florida. That is because the very term SR22 insurance means your brother is considered ‘high risk’ in the auto insurance industry because of his DUI conviction.

As far as SR22 insurance providers are concerned, there are actually some that are more expensive than the others. Your brother can follow some key points to ensure that he doesn’t pay more than you need to when you get his policy. Make sure that he doesn’t shop by price alone because some policies aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on. They may show a cheap price but don’t offer any coverage that your brother actually needs. He can go with a reputable DUI source when you shop for SR22 insurance. Insurance companies that specialize in this type of high risk auto insurance are in a better position to help your brother than a more generalized provider. You also have to get as many free quotes for your brother as you possibly can as this would help you pick the better SR22 insurance policy.

I already attended the administrative proceeding and was told by my Palm Beach Florida DUI lawyer that we are off for the legal proceeding. This is the tedious part I believe. During this proceeding, what needs to be done on my part?

Hi George,

My brother just came out from same situation as you do. He just won a DUI case here in Miami. What my brother did was he makes sure that he availed of his constitutional rights. The Miami Florida DUI lawyer that he hired was really good. The lawyer had seen some loop holes in the proceedings, the sobriety test and even how the arrest was conducted. The lawyer used this on the advantage for my brother and with the facts of the case; it is very obvious that he was not drunk. These things had made the case of my brother strong and he did won at the end.

George, you should see to it that from the start you are accorded with the rights as cited in the Constitution and that these right are strictly complied by the authorities involved.

Hey There Samuel.

Often you can pay minimum monthly payments, and also take an active role in deciding how much you are being charged during your case’s defense.
