If you have been arrested for driving under the influence or driving while intoxicated, the most essential step you need to take is to hire a Denver DUI Attorney. Here are just a few of the reasons why hiring a qualified lawyer to represent you in a DUI case is so essential.
They Have the Experience
The first advantage to hiring a DUI attorney in Denver when you are arrested for DUI or DWI is that they have the experience and training necessary to help you win your case. Some people who are arrested for DUI mistakenly think that they can represent themselves, but it is important to note that no matter how much you read up on DUI defense, you will never be as qualified as an attorney who has successfully represented DUI clients and won DUI cases before.
A Lawyer May Actually Be More Cost Effective
Several people make the mistake of believing that they can save money by not hiring a lawyer and just pushing through it on their own. However, more often than not, these people end up paying so much in filing fees, and people who represent themselves will lose their case more often than those who hire lawyers. Losing your case will result in serious fines, court fees, and you may even end up losing your job in many cases.
Familiarity with the Field Sobriety Tests and Processes
DUI lawyers are very familiar with the field sobriety tests. When you are pulled over on suspicion of DUI, especially if it is your first offense, you might be tempted to just take the police officer’s word for it. A DUI attorney in Denver, on the other hand, has received the same training on the field sobriety tests that the arresting officer has, and knows how to respond as the evidence against you is presented in court. When you are pulled over or arrested for DUI, a qualified lawyer is the best person to have on your team.
