Although Franklin wasn't a lawyer, he told his son that he learned the hard way when as a young man he received a "driving under the influence" arrest, represented himself in court, paid two thousand dollars in penalties and fines, and served three months in the local city jail. As he told his son, after he got released from jail, he found out from an attorney friend that if he would have hired a DUI attorney in the first place, he more likely than not would have had his penalties and fines significantly reduced and he may have never served any time in the local city jail.

When Lawrence heard this he knew he needed more facts about DUIs and so he asked his father for additional information about what a DUI attorney can do in a "driving under the influence" arrest. His dad then articulated the following: "If you have been charged with DUI you need a lawyer who will aggressively represent your legal rights through the complexities involved in a DUI case. DUI attorneys will be able to assist you every step of the way through the criminal process and help you find the answers you need."

When Lawrence listened to his dad explain this, it was as if his eyes were opened for the first time about the importance of hiring a "drunk driving" lawyer. Near the end of their discussion, Lawrence mentioned that he was beginning to understand more about DUI laws and what "drunk driving" lawyers can do for a person who has received a DUI arrest.

After getting "educated" about DUI arrests, the role of "driving under the influence" lawyers, and the fact that he didn't have to agree to take any field sobriety tests at the time of his arrest, Lawrence made up his mind that he would without a doubt hire a DUI attorney to represent him in the local court. Something else, however, happened after he had talked to his father. Lawrence finally started to comprehend the serious nature of "driving under the influence" arrests and, as a consequence, he came to a decision that from this point forward, he would always drink responsibly so that he would never again have to go through another DUI arrest.

His father smiled at Lawrence and told him the following: "son, it took me until I was fifty-five years old to realize what you just told me. I am very proud of you." This did wonders for his self worth and so Lawrence thanked his father and then said, "if I can always drink in moderation, I will never have to hire a DUI attorney again!"

There was, however, one thing that neither Lawrence nor his dad thought about, namely, if Lawrence is exhibiting any alcohol abuse signs or perhaps if he is manifesting any of the typical signs of alcoholism. Indeed, if Lawrence is manifesting any alcohol signs that point to alcohol addiction or alcohol abuse, he may need alcohol treatment.

Indeed, Lawrence may be required by the court to get rehabilitation for his unhealthy and excessive drinking. The good news, conversely, is that whatever it takes to deal with his abusive drinking, it seems like Lawrence will be motivated to do the "correct" thing.
