Why did Silicon Valley swing hard right?
Of course the answer is - get a good attorney But what are the keys points to consider? Background: seattle area. Was coming late night from a party where I had a few beers. A cop was behind me and stopped me, asked the necessary details and asked me to step out. Did an eye test and then a prelim breath test. The breath test came back 0.075. He still arrested me and took me to police station and had me undergo breath test again there. I tried my best to provide a sample and he finally recorded a 0.085. Didn’t give me a chance to call my attorney and put me to jail. Being the weekend I was there the night and released in the morning on a $1000 bail. This is my first ever DUI in last 20 years of driving in the US. Oh to add - I was neither speeding or driving reckless..just swerved a lane out and then back and that made the cop behind me pull over . Now I am trying to recoup myself and putting together next steps which include getting a good attorney in the Seattle area to help fight this out to reduce the DUI to a lesser misdemeanor or write off if possible Q: 1. Any recommendations for a great attorney ? 2. Any nooks and corners I need to be aware of to ensure I get the best outcome? Reflecting back - would calling my attorney before agreeing for breath test could have helped? It was an extremely humbling and embarrassing experience for me to go through - spending the whole night in the hold up area in jail with other convicts and having my dear wife bail me out in the morning. I am sure it has caused a mental scar on me but again lesson learnt!! Pls be kind when you make suggestions or comments and I will appreciate it. Thanks 🙏
Why drink and drive bro?
Why did you get stopped? Were you speeding?
Nope. Was trying to put phone on charge and that made me swerve a lane and then back. Cop was behind me to my bad luck No other offense cited in the ticket . I was driving in speed limit
Drunk driving and fucking with your phone, wow. Honestly hope the worst for you. Lost a friend to a drunk driver and it's never the drunk who dies. Unfortunately.
Welcome to the club. So many of us had our first DUI. Good lawyer and eventually it will all be behind you. You'll be fine but it's going to cost you.
You should not have been arrested for .075 and you defintely should not have taken another test at the police HQ without legal counsel. That said, as you know, your best defense is to hire an attorney to take it from here. It will be a few rough years with your insurance, but an attorney will help you put the DUi behind you.
Idiot
Not that that's said, hire a good lawyer and you'll be fine. Traffic laws only apply to poor people
At least you did not kill anyone. How hard is to get an Uber when you’re drunk to the point of not being able to stay in your lane. At least it’s good to hear that cops are doing their job.
better call saul. All the best OP
just swerved a lane out and then back - DUI starts this way, no matter how small or big it is still DUI. Most importantly make sure not to repeat this ever! Write off won’t be possible by any attorney, they can definitely work on reducing the misdemeanor charges given it’s your first offense by some safety course, don’t sweat.
