    Default Re: Arrested for DUI While at Home

    It depends on the money and how much it is worth to you. This does not seem like a difficult case to beat, but, a well trained and experienced DUI attorney may do better than a general practice attorney that deals with all areas of law equally.

    YOU have to be comfortable with the attorney you have chosen, so you need to weigh the situation for yourself.

    OP, if your facts are legit, contest this ticket. Kind of difficult to prove you were drinking and driving. Hell, it sounds like it would be hard to prove you were driving.

    Will the State rely on a non Officer witness to place you in the car? Even if they do, Who's to say you were under the influence at that time?

    You can get awfull smashed in fifteen minutes!

    I got a DUS once while I was eating in a restaraunt. Coincidentally, I had been there about fifteen minutes. Got a directed verdict of not guilty (Technicality). I was pretty confident in the jury though. Cop didn't see me in the car, didn't see me get out of the car. That = reasonable doubt.

    Picking up the phone and calling the cops is one thing. Showing up in Court to be confronted by the accused is quite another.

    I hope this doesn't cost you an arm and a leg!

    It sounds as though you've got a good attorney. What does he think about the whole thing? From what you've said, I think you'll beat it but your lawyer probably has a really good idea of how it will go.

    Once you receive discovery, see who they have listed as witnesses. If there is no witness that can put you in the car, intoxicated, you are home free!
