What Should People Be Aware Of About DUI Trials?

Transcript:
Attorney Myles Berman explains that a DUI trial consists of things that go on inside and outside of the courtroom. For example, there shouldn’t be any direct interaction between a lawyer and a juror but sometimes it happens anyway. If a juror run into the lawyer outside of the courtroom and tries to start a friendly conversation, the lawyer should inform the juror that they are not trying to be rude but have been instructed not to engage in conversation with any of the jurors. It’s also important that we are well groomed, look appropriate and treat people with respect because juror will see these things. It’s very important to act professional at all times. Jurors notice everything inside the courtroom. They are supposed to base their decisions solely on what they see coming from the witness box and evident.

But oftentimes, they also consider how the attorneys interact with the client, court personnel, bailiff, court reporter and judge. Sometimes something comical happens during the course of a trial and it’s okay to laugh under such circumstances. I try to be myself ultimately. I can’t stress how important it is to behave politely and professionally at all times. Contact Top Gun DUI Defense attorney Myles L.
