QUESTION
What if my 1st DUI evidence is overwhelmingly against me, should I plead guilty and show remorse?
Asked on Jul 20th, 2015 on DUI/DWI - California
More details to this question:
I experienced my first DUI arrest. I submitted to breathalyzer (a little less than .2) and blood test. No other aggravating circumstances. I don't think fighting the charge will do any good, nor reflect well on me given the evidence. I am looking for some realistic advice. I want to plead guilty and show my sincere remorse for what I did. Thank you for any help.

I never recommend pleading guilty until all of the evidence has been evaluated by an experienced DUI attorney. Blood and Breath results are not infallible and can be disputed.

You can always surrender and plead guilty. You might as well carry on and fight until you know all the facts. What if you're not guilty?

Showing remorse will do absolutely nothing to help your case. You need to hire a DUI specialist, and do it soon because you have only 10 days to save your license.

There is nothing worse than Guilty for a DUI. If you expect something good to come your way by pleading guilty forget it. If you plead not guilty- you will eventually plead guilty but it would give you time to show the DA how sorry you are you'd be better off pleading not guilty and then showing your remorse to the DA in hopes of him given you a better offer.
