When you get arrested for DUI not only do you feel shame, but you also feel fear. Fear of going to jail, fear of losing your job, even fear of losing your friends and family. In many ways, our legal system is archaic and overly complex. That is a major reason you should have a DUI attorney in Sacramento to defend you.

You Need Someone Who Understands the Laws

DUI attorneys are up to date on any changes in DUI legislation and are well versed on the ins and outs of the laws, the legalities and loophole that can affect the case against you. The legal BAC in all 50 states is now .08 and law enforcement is cracking down even harder on offenders. There are more roadblocks and sobriety checks than ever before.

Courtroom Experience is a Must

You should never attempt to represent yourself in court on a DUI. An attorney is qualified to try to get you the best deal and barring that, be the one in the courtroom pleading your case. You do not know what questions to ask or even what questions are permissible. You are not an attorney and as such do not know proper courtroom etiquette.

Fight against the DUI Charge

You can go into court and tell the judge “It’s not true! I wasn’t drunk!” Do you think he will take your word over that of a police officer’s? An attorney on the other hand will go into the same court and tell the judge that the officer had no probable cause to stop you or that the test was faulty or administered improperly. Now you have a defense and your charges may be reduced or they even may be dismissed. When there is so much on the line, Amaya and Associates will be there immediately to provide you with the best advice possible.
