What Are the Emotions of Someone Charged With DUI?

Answer

People charged with DUI often feel anxious, ashamed, and worried about their job or reputation. For someone with little prior contact with the justice system, an arrest and a night in jail can be especially upsetting.

A DUI arrest can leave a person feeling extremely anxious. Many clients described in the video have never faced criminal trouble or spent a night in jail before the arrest.

The experience may also bring shame because of the stigma associated with DUI charges. Concerns about work and reputation can add to the uncertainty.

Speaking with a DUI defense attorney can provide an opportunity to ask questions and understand the process ahead. The firm offers consultations to discuss those concerns.
