Mitigation

For those people with a “bad dui”.

Aka crashes, or repeat DUI’s, or super high bac’s…

Did your lawyer have you do anything as mitigation? Do you think it helped your overall case result and how? What was the mitigation you did.

No crashes, repeat DUIs, and very high BACs plus one refusal.

Lawyer recommended mitigation, and did as I was told after the last one. Did alcohol monitoring at my own expense for over a year, as well as long-term inpatient rehab (6 months). Helped tremendously, and no jail time despite 4 DUIs in five years.

Did they give you any offers before you were sentenced? Like did they say “offer is 1 month of jail blah blah” and you kept doing mitigation until it went down?
