How Can a Lawyer Really Help After a DUI Arrest?

At a minimum, a knowledgeable and experienced DUI lawyer can help you get through the courthouse maze and address all your needs.  A lawyer who is very familiar with a particular court and its staff is worth the investment.  Courthouse dockets can be very backlogged.  A good lawyer can help you get in and out of court, thereby reducing your wait time. 

A knowledgeable lawyer will know how to get your case in front of a good judge or prepare you for a judge who may be tougher.  Getting better driving privileges at the earliest possible date is one of the first things a DUI lawyer can do for you.

A lawyer who has fantastic working relationships with prosecutors, police, and judges will almost always help you in many aspects of your case.  Jail avoidance techniques, DUI reductions, sentencing reductions, payment plans for court fines, broad driving privileges, trying to get non-reporting probation, what alcohol education programs to avoid, minimizing fines, and overall being your "eyes and ears" are 8 solid reasons to invest in a lawyer.

If you or someone you know are scheduled to go to court on a DUI, we highly recommend that you get a lawyer who (a) knows Ohio DUI laws at an expert level and (b) knows not only the judges but the staff in the court in which you are scheduled to appear.
