Lauren had just received her third “driving under the influence” arrest. She was going to represent herself in court, but her father, Sam, told her that this would be a major mistake. When Lauren heard this, she asked Sam why she should even consider hiring a ”drunk driving lawyer.

Although Sam wasn’t a lawyer, he told his daughter that he learned the hard way when as a young man he received a “drunk driving” arrest, represented himself in court, paid fifty-five hundred dollars in fines and penalties, and served six months in the local jail. As he mentioned to his daughter, after he got out of jail, he found out from an attorney friend that had he hired a DUI lawyer to represent him in court, he probably would have had his penalties and fines significantly reduced and he may have never served any time in the local jail.

What a ”Drunk Driving” Lawyer Can Do in a DUI Arrest.

When Lauren heard this she knew she needed more DUI facts so she asked her father for more information about what a DUI lawyer can do in a “driving under the influence” arrest. Her dad then articulated the following: “Be aware of the fact that what matters is not so much whether you are guilty or innocent, but if the prosecution has enough evidence to prove its case against you. And remember, you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. And by hiring a DUI lawyer, you are increasing the chances that you will experience the best possible outcome for your circumstance.”

When Lauren listend to her father explain this, it was as if her eyes were opened for the first time about the significance of hiring a DUI lawyer. Stated another way, Lauren realized that she needed a DUI lawyer.

The Real Facts About Taking a Field Sobriety Test

She then told her dad that she had heard a lot about field sobriety tests. As a consequence, she asked her father what a field sobriety test was.

Her dad responded with the following: “Lauren, field sobriety tests are administered by the police in order to find out if a person has been operating a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol, drugs, or both. Field sobriety tests are often based on coordination and agility. The ‘rationale’ underlying these tests is that if a person is impaired from drugs, alcohol, or from both, his or her coordination and agility will be negatively affected and the person’s ‘performance’ on these tests will suffer.”

Lauren’s father then wanted to underline the following: “Lauren, remember that you cannot be legally forced to take any field sobriety tests when you are stopped by the police. The police officer that administers the tests is the only ‘evaluator’ of your performance and is therefore frequently documenting only the things that you do incorrectly or fail. As a result, in the vast majority of cases, a polite refusal to take any field sobriety test is appropriate.”

Near the end of their conversation, Lauren said that she was starting to grasp the relevance of DUI laws and what DWI lawyers can do for a person who has received a ”drunk driving” arrest, but he was still wondering why he was pulled over by the police in the first place. In her own words Lauren asked her father the following question: “Dad, why was I pulled over by the police? Specifically what were they looking for”?

Her dad answered Lauren in the following way: “Lauren, there are several diverse reasons why you could have been ‘stopped’ by a police officer. Some examples include the following: involvement in a traffic accident, expired registration tags, missing a front license plate, weaving in and out of traffic, speeding, tinted windows, and driving erratically. Not only this but someone could have also reported you to the police after seeing you leaving a sporting event, a party, a restaurant, or a bar ‘under the influence’ and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. In a word, there are more than a few reasons why you were ‘stopped’ by a police officer.”

After getting “educated” about “drunk driving” arrests, the role of DUI attorneys, and the fact that she didn’t have to agree to take any field sobriety tests at the time of her arrest, Lauren decided that she would without question hire a DUI attorney to represent her in court.

Lauren Gets Motivated That She Will Always Drink Responsibly and Never Suffer Through Another “Drunk Driving” Arrest

Something else, however, happened after she had talked to her father. Lauren finally began to realize the critical nature of DWI arrests and as a consequence, she came to a decision that from this moment forward, she would always drink responsibly so that she would never again have to go through another DWI arrest.

Her father smiled at Lauren and told her the following, “Lauren, it took me until I was forty years old to realize what you just told me. I am really proud of you.

This did wonders for her self esteem and so Lauren thanked her dad and then said, “if I can always drink responsibly, I will never need to hire a DUI attorney again!”

Does Lauren Need Alcohol Treatment For Her Alcoholism or For Her Alcohol Abuse?

There was, however, one thing that neither Lauren nor her father thought about, namely, if Lauren needs alcohol treatment for her alcoholism or for her alcohol abuse. In fact, Lauren may be mandated by the court to get treatment for her careless and hazardous drinking.
