Criminal Suspension
 

A Criminal Suspension is the second suspension you will receive if you are convicted of a DUI.  This suspension is separate and independent from the Administrative Suspension.  This suspension is imposed by a judge as a result of conviction and its length is based upon statutory requirements.  The minimum suspension is 6 months.  It begins on the date of your conviction.  If you have a BPO in your possession, the judge will take it from you and you may not drive until you get another BPO.  YOU MAY NOT DRIVE HOME FROM COURT!! 

Although no waiting period will apply, and you will not have to redo the DUI School, you will have to go back to the DHSMV to get another BPO.  You will have to pay another fee, but not as much as the first time.  However, if you beat the DUI, your license will not be suspended a second time.

Questions I Will Answer At Your Consultation:

 

-   What defenses do I have?

 

-   What are my options?

 

-   I’m a first time offender, what am I looking at?

-   Will I go to jail?

 

-   What effect will this have on my record, my employment, or my driver’s license?

 


Should You Hire a Lawyer or Bond Out First?

 

Hire the lawyer first.  He might be able to get your bond lowered and he is much more important to you in the case than the bondsman is.

 

Save the bond money for your attorney.  Your attorney does not want to leave you in jail.  Your attorney will be there to help you seek a lower bond, and then to advocate and fight for your innocence and freedom.  If you do get convicted, only your attorney will be there to fight for a lower sentence.  Only your attorney will listen to your side of the story and present it in your defense in court.

 

And you won’t be able to afford an attorney if you spend all or most of your money on the bondsman.
