KA-BAR. I noticed that you are in the state of Ohio, the law varies,state to state. 5-8 Grand for a lawyer CRAZY. I'm in PA
and even if the charges gets dropped to wreckless driving..
you still lose your license.

There are lots of lawyers that are much cheaper but you can basically get off just about anything for the right price. Actually There is one who pretty much Guarantees you get off for 8k he just digs and digs untill he finds something they fucked up. even if you lose you license with wreckess op its still 1000x better than DUI.

PoonDaddy I agree with your statement that as a police officer you probably know more law than a lawyer. Most lawyers usually specialize, for example DUI, as a police officer you must be able to pull from your brain all aspects of criminal law at a moments notice.

Always, I mean Always consult with a lawyer, you be the judge if it is worth it to you to pay $3000+ for a lawyer if he can get you off, then so be it, if not be a man. The police always win even if you win, because it will always cost you dearly one way or another, either monetary or criminal record wise

In Canada if you refuse the breathalyzer, you will get a stiffer penalty then if you actually blew. This is granted that the officer had reasonable gorunds to read the demand, but contrary to popular beleif, police officers are some of the best educated people in the country (Canada anyway), and how would you fight a refusal.

I don't know much about American criminal law, but can't imagine it to be all that much different. Just remember you have a choice to make, but either way your gonna pay.

Jaws, I know in Canada things do differ a bit. I have had appx 250 drunk arrests over the course of my career. How many have actually gone to court????
1!!!!!!!!!!
I won that one to.
Not to be a typical Dickhead cop, and brag. I am far from the likes of some of those I share a Badge with. I dont like arresting drunks its a PAIN in the ass.

Also JAWS you are my hero livng up there in B.C. . My girl and I were there last summer. Stayed up in Whistler then down in Victoria and last but not least Vancouver. Awsome Time.......

Thanks for such a big response guys!
I got a couple more questions. I have to go to court today, I plan to just ask for a continuence(sp) to give me time to get a lawyer. My questions are IF I can get a pass to drive to/from work can I get that today or will I need my lawyer. Also will my insurance company still cover me if my license are suspended but I have a pass for driving to work?

you can probably get the suspended license the same day or shortly thereafter. the public defender could do that for you. your insurance carrier might keep you depending on your history, but your rates will probably skyrocket. Good luck.
