You received a DUI! Terrible experience. You sat in a back of a police car and was taken to a cold jail. You were searched, fingerprinted and photographed. It was a miserable experience. Police offices treated you unfairly. You are not like the other people in jail. You are a good person. You work. You pay taxes. You have children. It was a mistake. Now your want your lawyer to have the charges reduced. So what you blew over the limit. You re not a criminal. These laws are ridiculous. DUI classes and follow up treatment is ridiculous. You don't need that. Your license was already suspended for 6 months by DMV. This is crazy! Now they want to give you probation or put you in jail. They want community service hours. A lock on your car (immobilization). They want an ignition interlock device so you will have to blow into the device to drive the car. What is this madness? You are a good person so can't they just reduce the charge? Why can't your DUI be changed to a reckless driving? You did not kill anybody. You did not hurt anyone. Those machines mess up all the time. Your friend's sister got her case reduced to a reckless driving. WHY CAN'T MY CASE BE REDUCED FROM DUI TO RECKLESS DRIVING? Make it happen!
Attorney Roger P. Foley discusses some facts from a recent case and the factors that go into having your case reduced from DUI to Reckless driving and gives you some of the concerns that must be weighed when working to achieve the best result possible.
