Question: What should I do and say if I’m pulled over for a DUI – how can I avoid making my case worse?
Answer: If you’re stopped for a DUI, don’t make it worse by what you say and do at the roadside and at the jail. Statements like, “I couldn’t do that when I’m sober,” do not help your case. Be quiet, be polite, comply with the officer’s command, and listen to what is happening. Pay attention. Your attorney is going to want to know details. Pay attention. Don’t put your head between your legs and say “oh, no. that’s terrible.” That’s not helping. You can help yourself by being alert and gathering information to give your attorney at a later time.
