DUI defense lawyer - why should I need one?

Getting a DUI is not an everyday thing, like having a glass of beer in a bar on Friday. It is a serious event that rarely happens. Most likely, in the case of DUI, you would not know what to say to police officers or how to act.

In addition, the law surrounding DUI is quite complex and there are many different factors at play. Even if you are drunk or intoxicated, you should not plead guilty publicly in your case. If you do plead guilty publicly, your options are severely limited.

The only way to avoid that is to hire an experienced DUI lawyer for defense of your interests. A good Toronto DUI lawyer knows all the pitfalls that may arise in the case and would help to avoid mistakes that would cost you dearly.

I am always very careful and cautious about drinking with my friends when I know I have to drive home. Unfortunately, a few months ago, I chose to just have a small amount of drinks. I was very responsible and knew my limits. I was feeling well and chose to drive home. It was then that the police pulled me over and had me take a breathalyzer test. I was being charged with a DUI and I was very scared since this is my first encounter with the law. I called one of my trusted friends and they referred me to Jonathan Lapid. He set up a time to meet with me and prepare a plan for how he would help me in my legal troubles. After working the case, Jonathan had the charges dropped based on a constitutional error made by the prosecution. Thank you for your help Jonathan!read more

The professionalism, care, and assistance that Jonathan Lapid demonstrated is the reason why he is the best DUI lawyer in Toronto.

Jonathan simply saved me and my career. Do not get me wrong, I understand that DUI is a serious offence and you can easily impact others well-being by neglecting "don't drink and drive rule" but my job requires me to drink on the meetings to sign the client. That's how I make my living. I was charged with over 80 and Jonathan made it possible for me not to lose my licence. Yes, it was not the cheapest offer on the market, but I'd rather trust my case to the professional with 25+ years of experience then will fight for a couple of hundreds in savings. Strongly recommended.read more

What Are The Consequences Of A DUI?

Being charged with DUI is a serious offence, and if it’s your second or third offence, then the charges will be even more strict and severe than the first one. Here are some consequences of a public DUI:

  • You’ll have a criminal record
  • You could lose your job if the story becomes public
  • You’ll lose your driver’s license
  • You’ll be facing jail time
  • Fines
  • Probation
  • Your insurance premiums will rise
  • You’ll have a difficult time with immigration
  • Your future career paths could be affected if the story becomes public
  • You won’t be able to travel to specific countries, such as the United States
  • Your conviction could be reported publicly
  • Public scandal

In any matter involving intoxication and drunk driving, seek and contact a law firm immediately. No matter what, you will want to do everything you can to weasel out of charges from DUI. The first step you can take is to get an experienced drinking and driving lawyer to guide you through your legal case during the trial. Remember that with all of the consequences associated with a DUI, pleading guilty publicly is the absolute worst decision you could possibly make. The verdict of the trial could be devastating as you may face criminal charges.
