If you are in the car with keys in the ignition and under the influence, you can be charged with a DUI. Whether or not there is enough evidence to convict depends on what the D.A. can prove.

How should I plead to my first DUI?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Cynthia Henley
I'm not certain what state you are in but in Texas, if you have a DUI (called DWI here) then you would have to have a lawyer represent you. If you are indigent thus could not afford to hire a lawyer, a lawyer would be appointed to represent you. You should call 3 to 5 area lawyers to get information about the situation. Most lawyers will talk to you at least briefly by phone, and many have free consultations. You may find that you are able to hire a lawyer. Moreover, you will likely need to get fees quoted in order to obtain a court appointed lawyer if you qualify. DUI/DWI has long term and far reaching consequences including enhanced punishments (the 3rd one is a felony in Texas), the loss of driving privileges, surcharges on your driver's license, and even high insurance premiums. You should fight the DUI/DWI if it is possible as once you plead guilty, the game changes. Every time you are stopped if you have alcohol on your breath, chances are great that you are going to jail. A lawyer will be able to evaluate your case and tell you if it is worth trying to fight it. Failing the breath test - especially with such a high result - does not necessarily equate to a loss. In fact, if a person looks good on the video and has a high breath test result, I find that juries really question the correctness of the breath test. Good luck to you!

What can we do if my son was involved in several DUI cases?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
He may not be dealing with a sympathetic DA so it is hard to say. The proof seems slim. He has 2 possible charges driving with .08 or more alcohol in his system and driving under the influence. They may have trouble proving either. But he is still facing probation violations if the priors were within the last 5 years (normally there is a 3 year probation, but the judge has the power to make it 5 years). For the first dui he would have 6 months hanging over his head less any time previously served. For the second one year less credits. Together that is 18 months assuming they are both active probations. If there is a blood test of .08% then it is possible to be another 12 months in jail. He needs a lawyer.
