Mitigation Make a Difference: Mel Gilbson praised by Judge for Rehabilitation
Mel Gibson praised by Judge in DUI Court for rehabilitation
efforts. Mitigation is defined in the American Heritage
Dictionary as to moderate (a quality or condition) in force or
intensity; alleviate. Mitigation is an integral part of any DUI
defense. We encourage clients to obtain a drug and alcohol
evaluation and follow through with any recommended treatment when they
receive any second in lifetime alcohol offense or a DUI with aggravated
circumstances like an extremely high blood alcohol level or a serious
accident or injury. Judges appreciate it because the client is
taking responsibility for their actions and it gives the judge an
objective second opinion which provides an opportunity for lightening
the sentence. A good lawyer can win a DUI but it
is a great lawyer who has a plan in case he loses. A Drug and
Alcohol evaluation, AA meetings, and counseling can make the difference
between a weekend in jail and a year in jail. Thirty AA meetings
is a lot better than thirty days in jail. Just ask Paris Hilton.
