You should hire a lawyer prior to Arraignment (your first court date). This way, your attorney can appear and plead on your behalf, without your presence being required. The attorney can also file Pre-Trial Motions to get access to all evidence against you, and get any illegal evidence thrown out. This will help your lawyer see what kind of case you have Interlock Ignition Device for 6 months after license is reinstated Interlock Ignition Device for 6 months after license is reinstated Photo published in county newspaper where you reside Photo published in county newspaper where you reside *Most DUIs are misdemeanors. However, if you kill or seriously injury someone, or have four offenses within 10 years, it will be considered a felony and go on your Criminal record Long-Term Consequences of A DUI Conviction ü  Higher Insurance rates ü  Ineligible to hold certain pilot or commercial truck licenses ü  More Difficult to Rent a Car ü  Restrictions on traveling to other countries ü  Less mercy if you’re ever arrested again. If arrested for a DUI, be sure to retain a lawyer prior to your first court date. This ensures you don’t have to attend court, as your attorney can appear and plead on your behalf.
