How Hyde Tebay Legal can help you with your Chester County DUI
Second offense DUI carries with it additional penalties and challenges for those charged with an offense. Some people charged with this offense may even be eligible to take their case to a jury trial. Aggressive representation is called for to best protect your rights and minimize your potential penalties.
The first step is to have an experienced Chester County DUI attorney help you conduct a careful analysis of the evidence. Was the reason the officer stopped you legal? Did they conduct the stop properly? Did the properly form probable cause to detain you and ask for your blood or breath? Did they conduct these tests accurately and according with well established protocols?
The second step is to formulate a trial strategy. You may need to conduct a Preliminary Hearing to challenge and assess the Commonwealth’s evidence. This will also create a record that can be used in future hearings. After this hearing the decision has to be made whether to try the case or attempt negotiations to minimize the charges. Finally, you want experienced counsel on your side for that trial.
Finally, if you are convicted or plead you want your attorney to help you develop mitigating strategies to present to the Judge. Whether that is an application for the Restrictive Probation Program (link to RP page) or finding some other mechanism for minimizing jail time, you want an aggressive experienced Chester County DUI Attorney on your side.
