San Diego DUI mistakes
(01) Not taking this seriously.This is a charge that will follow you for the rest of your life, if you are convicted. The additional insurance charges alone could cost you thousands of dollars.
(02) Not hiring an attorney.
The law is complex and you need competent representation. You must raise the right defenses at the right time or you will lose them. Facts will disappear, memories fade and witnesses vanish. A winable case can quickly become a loser.
(03) Hiring an attorney based on the amount of the fee alone.
The State has unlimited resources. You need to hire an attorney and pay a fee which will allow him to put time and effort into your case to counter the prosecution. Attorneys must earn enough in the time they spend on your case in order to keep their doors open and make a living wage. If you go too low, your attorney will not be able to put in the time necessary to protect you. Look for a reasonable, predictable fee, not the lowest.
(04) Not complying with driver's license laws.
You could lose your right to drive.
(05) Failing to appear in Court.
The Court will issue a bench warrant for your arrest and revoke any bond. The next time you are stopped for a traffic infraction, you will be spending some time in jail and posting a bond for your future appearances.
(06) Talking to anyone but an attorney about your case.
Anything you say to them can be used against you.
(07) Thinking that "talking" to some attorneys will help you handle it on your own.
You need to have an attorney go to Court with you.

Dear Mr. Richmond,
When I received a Drunk Driving charge in August of 05 I was lost. I decided to hire you as my attorney for the main fact that your prices were reasonable and you were very knowledgeable. I never had to go to court and you even got my charge lowered to what I wanted. You made this experience one of the most painless experiences that I ever would have thought it could have been. Thanks again.

Meet Michael Richmond
I was arrested for a DUI in San Diego just before Christmas 1996 and my San Diego DUI Arrest motivated me to provide the kind of service that I was not able to find when I needed it most.
I thought that a DUI Lawyer should be up-front about all aspects of my DUI case and not just concerned about how I was going to pay. Additionally, I hated being "sold."
As a result when you call and talk to me I will not "sell" you anything, but rather provide you with HONEST, ACCURATE information about the DUI process and potential DUI Defenses. Also, I will give you a price for our DUI Defense services without requiring you to "come into the office" - in office meetings are high pressure sales pitches with salespeople and not San Diego DUI lawyers.
Because I provide accurate, honest DUI information and won't use sales gimics I can confidently tell you that I an outstanding record as a member of the San Diego Better Business Bureau.
