Q: I got my first dui and it was aggrivated because I blew so high. It’s my first time getting in trouble with the law.

I can’t afford a attorney and I asked my bondsman if I should apply for a public defender and he said if he was me I should defend myself and plea guilty but accept the court cost and fine but no jail time. But I don’t know how that would workout I just need a few answers.

That’s terrible advice. Apply for a court appointed or try to find a lawyer who will take a payment plan. You want to avoid a conviction and just paying a fine will result in a conviction.

Gary Johnston Dean
Gary Johnston Dean
answered on Jan 6, 2018

No, you are not required to take the FIELD Sobriety Test, but probably will have your car towed, and be taken to jail. If you refuse breath or blood tests, your license will automatically be suspended. We recommend you requested the blood test.

Q: Will charges be worse if someone bangs up their car in a DUI -- it was the only vehicle involved.
Gary Johnston Dean
Gary Johnston Dean
answered on Dec 21, 2017

If only the vehicle was "Injured", it in no way has any bearing on the charges filed. I know it's really hard during the holidays but you must stay sober and safe. Another charge would be a disaster for you, and any attorney trying to help you.
