Boise DUI Lawyers woke up to headlines of a Felony DUI that occurred in Boise on Tuesday. Felony DUI and an associated DWP are no laughing matter. A second time offense and an excessive DUI indicate to judges in Idaho that the person who was driving under the influence of alcohol has a serious problem and it is in the best interest of the population at large to get these people off the street.
The dilemma for a DUI lawyer in Boise is defending the person charged with excessive DUI and preserving their rights as well as protecting the population from repeat offenders. As a Boise Criminal Lawyer I often get comments from people asking me how I can defend a criminal. We all have rights and we all make mistakes. Often it is not a question of guilt, such as the person involved in the felony DUI on Tuesday. She clearly was driving under the influence of alcohol and in an excessive amount. What it comes down to is preserving her rights. We have to put our selves into her shoes and ask if we would want our rights protected. We live in a country where we are given many rights as opposed to many other countries where there are little or few personal rights. A lawyers duty is to preserve and protect your rights and to make certain that the government or the police don't do something that is contrary to those rights.
So clearly, the excessive felony DUI charge that the woman in Boise received on Tuesday was warranted, but how can lawyers help her? They can help her by protecting her rights, by making certain she gets a fair trial and by helping her get the help she needs so that she does not once again commit the same crime.
