DUI Legal

 

Lawyer

Driving under the Influence (DUI) is a serious offense, one that can result in major legal consequences.  It is imperative to understand the legalities following a DUI arrest, so you can make informed decisions on how to proceed.  If you are arrested for DUI, you have the option of hiring your own lawyer or having the court appoint you a public defender.  NextStepDUI will discuss the advantages of hiring your own lawyer and the possible disadvantages of relying on a random appointee. 

 

NextStepDUI only works with competent professionals who understand the entire process.  The lawyers we may recommend - and the hundred or more who have referred clients to us since our inception - clearly understand the importance of being proactive following a DUI arrest.  Furthermore, if you are already represented by counsel prior to our initial meeting, we can still work with you to ensure you get the best outcome possible. We will contact your lawyer immediately to discuss our process and the benefits of using a responsible, step-by-step case management plan for your DUI. 

 

Jail

Jail is one of the many consequences you can face following a DUI conviction, although it is not always mandatory.  There are several key factors that influence whether an individual will go to jail after a DUI.  NextStepDUI’s experience in working with more than a thousand clients is that individuals who responsibly address this serious behavior by taking proactive measures drastically reduce their chances of going to jail.  Our step-by-step case management plan will provide you with the appropriate resources, tools, insight and ongoing professional guidance to help you help yourself in your quest to maintain your freedom.

 

Process

After a DUI arrest, people are generally extremely anxious, which is completely reasonable since they have no idea what to do next.  NextStepDUI has years of experience working with people in this situation and understands the intricate details of the entire process.  The legal process following a DUI arrest is time-sensitive, can involve several court and Secretary of State proceedings, and can take months to finally resolve.
