The First 5 Things to Do After Being Charged with a DUI in York County

Posted on by

Facing a DUI charge in York County can be overwhelming and stressful. It’s crucial to act swiftly to protect your rights and build a strong defense. Here are the first five things you should do:

  1. Contact an Attorney Immediately: The most important step is to secure an experienced DUI lawyer. The McShane Firm’s attorneys specialize in DUI defense and will provide the guidance and expertise you need to navigate the legal process.
  2. Document Everything: Write down all the details of your arrest, including your interactions with the police, any tests administered, and the sequence of events. This documentation can be vital for your defense.
  3. Avoid Self-Incrimination: Only discuss your case with your attorney. Conversations with friends, family, or on social media can be used against you in court, so it’s best to keep these discussions private.
  4. Follow Legal Advice: Your attorney’s advice is critical. Follow their recommendations on handling your case, including how to interact with law enforcement and what to expect in court.
  5. Prepare for Court: Work with your lawyer to gather evidence, identify witnesses, and develop a defense strategy. Proper preparation is essential for challenging the prosecution’s case and presenting your side effectively.
