It is possible that for a dismissed drunk driving case to affect your driving record still. I would recommend that you verify with your state’s Department of Motor Vehicles to know for sure what exactly will be listed on your driving history. The cost of a SR-22 insurance will depend upon your driving record and other personal information.

A second offense Palm Beach DUI is just one thing which may make it necessary for you to hire a lawyer, although it is still open to interpretation. To say the least, it’s in your best interest to hire a second offense Palm Beach DUI lawyer in the following cases, but there’s still some leeway and it won’t be a total disaster if you don’t.

Probably go and hire a DUI lawyer if…

• if you’re already on your second DUI conviction, then your consequences rachet up another notch. Not the highest they can go, but definitely more unpleasant than the first time around.
• if you got really drunk before driving, and it was to the extent that you came up to double the legal level which you can usually get convicted for, then you would do well to be hiring a lawyer.
• there are some other conditions which may be similar to the double BAC level one, and one of the most serious of these is being caught while you have a kid in the car. Anyone under the age of 18, even just a year, can bring you a harsher sentence if you are drunk driving with them.
