Suspended License due to DUI – Should I hire an attorney?

California, US. I got caught driving picking up my niece from school down the street (sobriety check point) with a suspended license due to a DUI and got a citation for it and have to appear at court. Horrible part is it happened the day before my restricted license were to be issued to me. Is jail time a mandatory penalty? What are the odds of me avoiding jail time if I hire at attorney?

No lectures. You know how dumb you were. Hire an attorney, you need one.
you should drive over to an attorney’s office
They’ve been jailing celebrities to show that no one is above the law. I suggest you get a lawyer. With one day to go perhaps he or she can get the court to make an exception. Otherwise be prepared to pay a fine for driving while suspended. You might get lucky and have to do some community service.
Silly. Hire an attorney, just in case
In most counties you wont face jail time for a first time driving while suspended charge.
Actually, your attorney can continue the case till you have your drivers license and show the court that you have your license and the case can be dropped all together. You’ll be fine, I don’t see this causing you any problems.
Definitely hire an attorney though, wouldn’t think twice about it.
Every case is different. An experienced and caring DUI Defense Attorney must first engage in and conclude discovery proceedings and his investigation before being able to determine what exactly can be done.
Upon review and analysis of the evidence (DS 367 -sworn officer’s statement, police report, test results, lab records, complaint, driving record, etc.), a DUI Lawyer can determine what your best strategy or tactic is. One is obviously a function of the other.
Perhaps that is why the California State Bar prohibits attorneys from making predictions on the outcome of any case. Too soon to tell.
No one can give a percentage. Any attorney who gives you a proposed chance of winning is untruthful and only wants your business. The California State Bar prohibits attorneys from making predictions on the outcome of any case.
Perhaps the reason it is unethical and immoral to make a guarantee is because no one can predict without first conducting discovery, reviewing the evidence, analyzing the reports, and completing investigation.
Lawyers are not Jimmy the Greek nor Cleo the Psychic. Attorneys are not Las Vegas nor do they own a crystal ball. Their job is not to predict the outcome; their job is to beneficially affect the outcome.
A loser can always predict that he will lose, but a winner can only predict that in every case, there is a chance to win.
