I've Been Charged With DUI. Is This A Freak Occurrence Or The Sign Of A Deeper Problem?
It happened, you had one too many, made a mistake driving (fortunately nobody was hurt) and you got pulled over and charged with DUI. Is this something that is a one-off in your life? Or, does it indicate a deeper, more underlying problem?
Though an attorney cannot help you with the psychological reasons behind being in a situation where you end up charged with DUI, an attorney can absolutely help you with the legal aspects of the accusation. If you have been charged it is probably your first offense, you have no criminal record and nobody was hurt. These circumstances allow for a generally more favorable outcome for your case in the courts, and an experienced and knowledgeable DUI lawyer is sure to help.
Beyond that, if you find that you are a person who likes to engage in risk taking behavior, or who finds themselves being reckless with theirs and others' safety, you may wish to consult a mental health professional about the possibility of there being an underlying mental issue or issues that led you to be put in such a compromising position.
If you live in Burlington, Essex, Colchester, Winooski, Williston, Shelburne or anywhere in the State of Vermont, and have been arrested or charged with DUI or any crime, call The Law Office of C Jordan Handy for aggressive and experienced legal defense.
