What Should I Do If I'm About to Get Charged with DUI?
DUI Defense Lawyer in Arapahoe County
If you suspect you are about to get charged with DUI or another criminal offense, the first step you need to take is to talk with me, attorney Joseph Lazzara. You can always exercise your Fifth Amendment right and are never obligated to answer questions. In fact, you should not talk with family members or law enforcement at all without having a lawyer present.
One of the biggest mistakes that people make is hesitating in contacting legal counsel. Without a lawyer, you will be unsure of what you can and should say to law enforcement and you risk making statements that could be used against you in court.
