What You Need to Do After Being Released From Jail On a DUI Arrest

The steps you take upon your release from jail for a drunk driving arrest may significantly impact the success of your DUI case. Our New Jersey DWI attorneys advise clients to take certain important steps in order to prepare them for their court date and help build a strong defense to dismiss or reduce their DUI charges.

5 Important Steps To Take to Help Your DWI Attorney

Below are 5 steps your attorney will want you to take in order to help him prepare for your DUI trial:

1. Prepare a detailed list of all of the food, beverages and alcoholic drinks you consumed 2 to 3 hours prior to your DUI arrest.
2. Make a list of everything that happened that led to your DUI arrest, including any conversations you may have had with the arresting officer or other passengers in your car.
3. Write the names, contact information and any other pertinent information that may help your New Jersey DWI attorneys in preparing for your court date.
4. If your driving privileges have been suspended, you will need to contact the DMV to appeal the suspension.
5. If the police impounded your car at the time of your DUI arrest, you need to pick it up. If there are any empty cans of beer or other alcoholic drinks in your car, ask a trusted friend or relative to take pictures prior to removing them.

In addition to these five steps, you need to make sure you do not violate any other laws pending your court date. It is also very important that you maintain contact with your New Jersey DWI attorneys and provide them with any information they may request in preparing for your upcoming DUI trial.
