DUI / DWI...is it a suitable impression to carry a dui attorney?? NEED DESPERATE HELP?
Ok..i'm in sort of a big predicament. My bf and I got pulled over and he is, I believe, charged next to a dui. He has recieved a dwi in 04', so I'm really stressed out and coy here. I was actually the one that be too drunk and had called for him to pick me up at a friend's house...have way too much to drink, i know...uncool....he came over and hung out for for a moment bit and had a couple of beer....but he's a big dude so couple of beers won't do anything to him...
Anyways..it was around 2:30 in the moring when we got pulled over...My bf confessed to have a couple of beers and I told the officers the whole story....they administered the Sobreiety tryout?..on him while i was in the motor...I wanted to get out to explain to them but they insisted i sit surrounded by the car...anyways...i could hear the officer telling my bf that they could totally smell alcohol on me and not much from him....i also pleaded near the other officer that it was my fault that i have called him to come pick me up and i didn't want him to get surrounded by trouble because of me...he assured me everything would be fine and that it seems my bf is ok....well i guess he did ok for the first tryout but then they did the breathalyzer test and i guess thats where on earth he failed....
Anyways i don't really know about any of these things...pertainig to dui law and stuff...Im a big goodie goodie....i can't believe i allowed this to happen....but my bf told me they didn't discuss with him anything ...close to if he passed either of the test...or if they be gonna charge him anything....they just told him he had to run to jail for 6 hours to sober up and that i can pick him up in the morning...they if truth be told even drove his car home for him....his court date is coming up in couple of weeks and i've be checking stuff up online....should he get a dui attorney?...considering this would be his second offense...and also since he was charged beside a dwi the first time...say he did get a dui this time...would that be considered a second offense or a first offense?...are they two different thigns?....
my bf is 28...he be a bit of a trouble maker in his younger days...but ever since getting beside me he has cleaned up his act considerably....his transcription is clean though except for the first dwi in 04'...he make a decent living...but has to support both of his parents aand me....i a moment ago finished school..still trying to find a job..so we don't in actuality have money to just spend...can i build payment arrangements for the attorney if we decide to go and get it...and lastly is this a lost cause because he did have some alcohol within his system...
sorry for so many questions....but since he hasnt be to court yet..is his license suspended or not ...can he still drive around legally?...I discern so bad...i know he should've made better judgement considering I was the drunk one...my bf also said at the time we be the only ones on the freeway....they said he was speeding...sorry for the long story....but i do have need of some advise...thanks....

I would not even think of going to court for a DUI lacking a lawyer! Your instinct is right on, he needs one discouraging.
If his license was not taken at the scene, he is probably good to walk as far as driving before his court date. Do not take my word for this though, I could be wrong! To be completely sure he should go to the your state's licensing authority (Dept. of Motor Vehicles/Bureau of Motor Vehicles/ Dept of Public Safety, etc) and request an abstract of his license. That will update him for sure if his license is still valid.
Once he has a lawyer, that personage should be in charge of defense strategy, they are an expert!
depending on the state the fines change. go bring a cheap 500 dollar lawyer just to walk through the motions the lawyer can get a better contract then you can.
First rotten, it is not your fault your boyfriend got a DUI. He is a 28 year out-of-date man and made the decision to drink and then drive. I doubt you held a gun to his come first. This is his second offense and the first one will factor in to his sentence on this one. His license will be suspended according to state law. I enjoy no idea what State you live in or how long ago this happen, they should have told him when he was processed.
The Officers did worthy to keep you in the sports car when they were dealing with your boyfriend. They own a right to keep you in the vehicle for their sanctuary and yours. Also, from here on out don't try to get out of a car during a traffic stop unless the Officer asks you to step out.
Your boyfriend wants a lawyer. Hopefully the two of you will learn something from this because subsequent time you could kill someone. It is uncool to drive drunk, mostly because my wife and three year old (and other families) drive on like roads you do.

If he didn't pass the Breathalyzer trial he had too much to drink, big or not. He drank and then drove, how is that your knock. He knew he was going to drive so why did he drink? Because he's big. Stop making excuses for him.So he be speeding too. How is that your fault. You didn't mention your age. I guess it doesn't matter. You want to plan for your transportation before you get loaded, or stay home and capture loaded. If they didn't take his license, he can drive. they didn't impound his car, so that be lucky. He can call the DMV or the police and make sure he can drive.
