Are you getting ready to go to court for your 2nd DUI? Do you want to know how to be prepared so that you do not get the worst penalties that are available or you can actually get it dropped all together? There are some basic things you need to know when dealing with a DUI, especially your second DUI.
Here is what you should know.
First, you will get harsher penalties than your first DUI and this could include some jail time.
Some have gotten as much as a full year in jail and others get around 60 days.
This depends on where you live and how the judges there operate.
You will also get your license suspended for up to 5 years, but it will most likely be for 1 year or possibly for 18 months because it is your 2nd DUI.
Second, you can be prepared and either get out of the DUI all together or at least get less time in jail and a shorter amount of license suspension if you know what you are doing.
You will need a good lawyer and not just any lawyer.
You need the man or woman in your community that is well known and has a good relationship with the judges and prosecutors.
This will help you get a better plea.
Last, if you really want to be prepared and avoid getting convicted of your 2nd DUI, then you can get a guide that will help you make sure you have covered all the bases.
These can be found at bookstores or online and you can usually get one for a decent price.
This type of guide will walk you through all the steps of what to do in court, before court, and throughout the entire process.
