Re: Good DUI lawyer in Hampton??
I'm pretty sure having a lawyer won't help. If I was a judge, I would give the guys who have lawyers the max punishment. The mentality is they think they can pay money to get out of it a little more. I would suggest being honest and stop drinking, and tell the lawyer that you havn't drank from the time you got the DUI to the date of the court.

Re: Good DUI lawyer in Hampton??
Knowing the system here. You will probably get off with a smack on the hand and pay a HUGE FEE (somewhere along the lines of $4-5000 if you can't pay it then you'll do time). Then you'll get out DUI again and this time kill someone.
I'm not a hypocrite, I used to drink, and I did get pulled over one night for my exhaust, and the cop suspected that I was DUI because of my buddies passed out in the car drunk. (It did smell like a bar) I passed the field sobriety, and breathalizer (luckily I only drank 2-3 beers and it was around 11pm I got pulled over around 230am). That night I stopped drinking and smoking (I drank probably 2-3 times in 5yrs a couple drinks now and I haven't smoked at all). I'm just glad that I didn't kill anyone or myself for that fact.
I looked up the fines just to see what I would get if I had gotten put in jail that night. On top of your lawyer fees look to spend around 20-25k total for $100 worth of alcohol maybe less?
Cliffs:
If you have 20-25k you'll get a slap on the hand. If not then prepare for 30days minimum and a 1 yr suspension of license (to and from work might be possible) and increase in insurance.
