How to Prepare for a DUI Court Hearing

Once you've been arrested for a DUI (driving under the influence) offense, court proceedings will follow. Legal representation is key, and you will be given three choices: a court-appointed public defender, your own attorney, or you may represent yourself. Here's how to prepare for your day in court.

Instructions

1

Know what to expect. Your lawyer, whether public or private, will let you know about the various stages of your court case and how you can help prepare your case. Do your own online or library research to know what questions to ask your lawyer (see Resources below).

2

Do your homework. The court system for DUI hearings is set up to produce convictions. A DUI is a serious crime, even if you're only charged with a misdemeanor. Study your state's statutes and get familiar with the terms used in DUI cases.

3

The arraignment is the first step in the court process. This is where you will plead "Not guilty," "Guilty," or "No contest." If you plead "not guilty," your lawyer will then prepare to fight the charge at your court hearing.
