If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are material and exculpatory. Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.

You should call DUI attorney's in your area, their prices are likely as varied as their services. You need to figure out what you want to do with your case, fight, see what can be done or plead guilty. You also need to figure out how important your Driver's license is to you, most Public Defenders are not aware of how what happens in court effects your license, beyond the DMV action. If you need to keep driving, you should hire a private attorney, even if they can't win your case, they will keep you driving longer and get you back on the road quicker.

Of course they do not need a test to go to trial on a DUI/DWAI case. You can object to "destruction of evidence" but it is pretty technical argument and you really need a lawyer. If you qualify - have the public defender represent you. if you don't, find a knowledgeabel DUI lawyer to take on that issue for you. It will be worth the money you spend, I suspect. Having a med card won't help with the DUI, nor open container.
