Charged with over 80 mg/100 ml of alcohol

I’m asking in behalf of a friend that lives in Ontario, Canada.

He was charged with ‘Over 80 miligrams of alcohol in 100 mililitres of blood’ only (excess alcohol). His readings are 162 (mililitres of alcohol in 100 mililitres of blood) and 150 (mililitres of alcohol in 100 mililitres of blood).

His lawyer set up a trial after 8 months and said that he has 50/50 chances to win. Although his lawyer said at the very begin that this case has high chances to win.

His lawyer asked for huge amount of money, in my friend's opinion ($7,000 for pri-trail meeting and $8,000 for 1 day in court). Being very scared he paid the money and already had 1 trial day. Is this price reasonable?! The lawyer didn’t even try to delay the court day.. He is saying now that it will take longer then expected, maybe another 2 days for trial and is asking for more money.. What are his chances? Should he change the lawyer? It is already in the middle of the process.. I mention that he was stopped at a police ride check point. Please advise. No accident involved. My friend has never been charged by the police before.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Normally DUI cases cost around 2500 dollars to take to court.

Call around and get trial quotes from several local lawyers and compare.

Wow.. What a surcharge !!

My freind larady paid $15,000 to the lawyer and the lawyer is saying that he is not sure if he can win.. He said that there will be another 2 days in court and is asking for more money.. Please advise what to do in this case..

Thanks.

sorry for misspelling.. I wrote in a rush... and I'm really worried..

Hey,
Have your blood work done, you may find you have some abnormalities, and some is lacking in your diet, or need vitimins. Wait. I think I
had my blood pressure tested last physical though. Yeah I did and amazingly he said it was normal. I was popping a freaking vein or something and he's like "Your blood level is totally awesome.

I heard about this already.Normally DUI cases cost around 2500 dollars to take to court. Try once..
