Kentucky DUI lawyer

Reader’s Question:

I have not been taken to a police station for any reason. But I have several friends who have already been arrested and taken to police custody because of DUI charges here in Kentucky. But just in case, I just want to know, do I have a right to a phone call or a lawyer if I will be arrested for DUI?

If you will be arrested for DUI in the state of Kentucky, you should ask to see a lawyer the moment you arrive at the police station. Anyone who is under arrest, as we often hear, anything you say might be used against you. That’s why you should not say anything without the presence of a lawyer or until you have already talked to a lawyer.

You have the right to make a local phone call to a lawyer, any relative, bail bondsman and/or other person within a reasonable time after the arrest or booking at the jail. The police may not listen to any communications made to your lawyer. You should make the call in such a way that you cannot be overheard by anyone.
