Q: 1st time DWI BAC .20. Is there anyway to get the bac reduced if I plead guilty
I was trying to answer my cellphone and lost control hit a light pole. Totaled my car. Had to be airlines to Duke for my injuries. This is my 1st offense I'm would really like to avoid jail time if possible because of my injuries to my leg. And a restricted license is going to be needed if I lose my license. Is it possible for these things to get done?
A: You definitely need to hire an experienced DUI attorney to review the circumstances of your case and to negotiate terms of a guilty plea if no defense is available. Pleading guilty and then trying to get the BAC reduced won't work.
