DUI Arrest? Find Out If a Prior Criminal Record Can Be Used Against You

The Drunk Drivers Rights site addresses the issue of whether or not a criminal history will affect the outcome of a current DUI case, making the point that it depends on what the criminal history involves.

NA, NY (prHWY.com) October 30, 2012 - The site, http://www.drunkdriversrights.com/ , has detailed information about all of the issues involved with being arrested and charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The site also gives information about whether or not to hire a DUI attorney and how to go about doing so.

The new content focuses on past criminal convictions and how they might affect a current case involving a DUI arrest. The article points out that no criminal arrest or conviction in the past should be allowed to prejudice the court regarding someone's guilt or innocence in a new case.

The article does make it clear that if a person is convicted of DUI in a current case, any past DUI convictions will affect sentencing even if they didn't help determine guilt or innocence.

The article is entitled, "If I Have a Criminal History, Can It Be Used Against Me in a DUI Case?" It points out that those with any type of criminal past should definitely hire a competent DUI attorney with experience representing those with a criminal record. A good DUI lawyer can prevent the type of prejudice that can lead to an unfair conviction or a sentence that is more harsh than it should be.

A supporting article, "DUI Lawyers That Represent Drunk Driving Cases," points out what an experienced DUI attorney will do for a client with a past criminal conviction. Hiring a lawyer who understands DUI laws, sobriety testing, proper procedures during arrests and other pertinent information gives drivers the best opportunity to get a fair hearing and just outcome.

Website reader Roger Bolton commented on the information, saying, "I can stress the importance of having a competent DUI attorney by your side when facing a drunk driving trial. The great attorney I hired was able to keep a prior conviction for domestic violence in which alcohol was involved out of my DUI case. I think it was an important part of being acquitted by a jury."
