 Hey friends, if you or someone you know has been arrested for DUI, let me give you the three mistakes to avoid. I'm attorney Kevin Hazel. I've been practicing DUI defense for over 32 years. Mistake number one, hiring a general practice lawyer. What does that mean? You may have a friend who's a lawyer. They might be a really nice person and cut you a really good deal, but guess what? Someone who does wills and trusts, or does real estate deals, or has handled a couple criminal cases is not the right lawyer for you. DUI defense is a specialized area. They've got to understand retrograde extrapolation, motions to suppress based upon traffic stop, understanding the intoxicizer, blood chemistry, intoxicology. There's a plethora of information that they need to do not for the first time with you, but for years before that to increase the likelihood that your case will have a good result. Number two, making a decision solely because of cost. If you're looking for cheap, you'll get cheap. If you want to find someone who's done it before, who's done it for years, who may not even need your business, but has established a reputation, that reputation will cost you money. The third is failure to act. I call this going ostrich on it on your approach. That means you stick your head in the sand, you say, it's never going to happen to me. I don't want to think about it in time ticks. You lose the ability to get a hardship license. You lose the ability for your seasoned DUI lawyer to have a formal review hearing and get information that will evaporate if they don't move quickly. Friends, don't make these three mistakes.
