Failure To Call The Appropriate Attorney

People are sometimes distrusting of the legal profession and when the pressure of a criminal action is added to the mix, it often results in a common misconception that a lawyer  is going to waste more money for the same, inevitable result. Once cited, many people tend to run through a fairly predictable cycle of self-doubt and hate, and become resigned to what they believe is inevitable (and subsequently deserving) fate. While it is true that DUI's are a very specialized area of law thoroughly understood by a relatively small number of practitioners, it is also true that most criminal attorney offers a free consultation that people should always take advantage of to learn about the field, and further, that most lawyers will make an appropriate referral if the case falls beyond their field of expertise.

However, due to the inherent complexities of a DUI case, it is generally never a good idea to call any attorney or an already familiar family law practitioner. There are precious few areas of law that the American Bar Association permits attorneys to call "specialty" areas, but DUI law is one of them, and for good reason. Calling a  Utah DUI Attorney should be the one of the first steps taken after recieving a DUI in Utah, while it may not be "rocket science," it is important to have an attorney thats fully understands the history and physiological basis of the "Standardized Field Sobriety Tests" and is preferably certified as a NHTSA instructor in them. Likewise, there is no way to adequately examine the scientific and evidentiary foundations of a breath test absent a complete understanding of how the Intoxilyzer 5000 and 8000 employ infrared spectrometry in analyzing a sample, and further, precisely how the machine does (and perhaps more importantly doesn't) work on a practical basis. We don't just own an Intoxilyzer 5000 to play with at parties (although it's a real conversation starter); we have one because we believe that after one performs a few hundred tests on it, one can better understand its idiosyncracies.

If you believe that a Utah prosecutor will fairly evaluate your case and that they are going to make you a deal on a DUI; if you believe that a Utah prosecutor would not prosecute your case if your Fourth Amendment rights had been violated, (in Utah of all places); stop reading here and go right ahead and trust your fate to the government, because nothing we have to say is going to ring true. If however, you are old enough to have learned that even the best government can give its citizens uneven, and sometimes unfair treatment, read on - because if nothing else, you want to avoid any future contact with the criminal justice system.
