Will I have to go to jail for a DUI in Edmond?
Being accused and charged with a DUI in Edmond is a serious allegation; one the government does not take lightly. In some instances, the government will recommend jail time for a first-time DUI in Edmond and second DUI offenses and beyond often come with jail time recommendations from the prosecution. Unless you have an experienced DUI defense attorney in Edmond; you may have an increased chance of facing jail time. We work early and often with our clients to develop their story and mitigate their circumstance to the DUI prosecutor. We are all human and by showing how you can be a productive member of the community and take the allegation of a DUI seriously; we regularly obtain agreements that do not involve any jail time for a DUI. Prosecutors are overwhelmed with the number of DUI charges in Edmond and Oklahoma County. They will never hear learn about your circumstances or why you should be given the opportunity to avoid a conviction and jail, unless you have an experienced DUI advocate for fight for your future and tell your story.
Can I resolve my case without a conviction?
Through Fierce Advocacy, we have been able to obtain dismissals and probation without a conviction for multiple clients facing DUI charges in Edmond and throughout Oklahoma. Without an advocate to tell your story and situation; a prosecutor is often left with the allegation you drove drunk, endangered the public, and were arrested for a crime. Not a good combination.Through our years of experience and understanding of what prosecutors care about in DUI cases; we can help frame an approach in your case to obtain a lighter sentence, mercy, or probation without a conviction. By following our plan of attack in your DUI case; you may receive a deferred sentence and avoid a conviction. Deferred sentencing means your case is resolved by plea agreement with conditions of probation; however, your sentencing date is set off or deferred for a period of time. Upon successful completion of the deferred sentence your case is dismissed and you can seek an expungement to erase any court record of your DUI in Edmond or Oklahoma.
Long Term Consequences
Being stopped or arrested for a DUI is one of the scariest experiences of many of our client’s lives in Edmond and across Oklahoma. Unfortunately, being arrested is only the first step in a potentially lengthy process; including both the Oklahoma Driver’s License process with DPS and the criminal justice process for a DUI in Oklahoma. It is important to know your rights and retain an Oklahoma DUI Defense Attorney if you or a loved one is charged with DUI, APC, DWI, or Aggravated DUI in Oklahoma.Oftentimes people we meet with are most concerned with being sent to jail or facing burdensome court costs; however, the potential of a criminal conviction and losing your driver’s license may cause more harmful long-term consequences than temporary loss of your freedom. Don’t get me wrong, going to jail for a DUI is no joke; however, it is important to think about the long game when facing one of the most complex areas of criminal justice in Oklahoma; DUI. Many employers in Edmond and across Oklahoma conduct criminal background checks. When a job opportunity comes down to you or another candidate; you do not want a DUI on your record to hinder your chances of getting the job. Additional financial burdens come with a DUI in Edmond and beyond, increased car insurance, potential loss of driving privileges, and probation requirements that can be overwhelming. Your career and finances are too important to place these issues in the hands of a criminal defense attorney without experience fighting for clients facing DUI charges.
