DUIs<\/a> are very common in the United States. We all have a friend who has called us in despair after getting a speeding ticket. However, things can go really south if they get arrested for a driving offense.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Either way, here\u2019s how you can help them:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be judgmental<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Getting arrest could be very traumatizing. You don\u2019t need to make it worse for them. If they choose you out of all the people and call you up, it\u2019s because they really trust you. You need to respect that trust and be as compassionate as possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t make them feel bad about what has happened. Encourage them that it\u2019s all going to be okay. Make them feel like it\u2019s all temporary and they\u2019ll soon be out and reunite with their family. Offer all sorts of emotional and mental support that you can muster.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Be available for their family<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

If a friend is spending time behind bars, they\u2019re probably worried about their family back home. Call up the family and ask them if there is anything you can do for them. Offer any sort of financial assistance if it\u2019s possible. Reassure them that you\u2019re doing everything in your capacity to help their family member.<\/p>\n

\"An<\/p>\n

Get a bail bond<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your friend definitely needs all of that emotional support but the main issue at hands is their bail. Your friend called you because they really expect you help them escape the bars. Cash bail is expensive, and it won\u2019t be easy to feasible to pay the full bail amount in cash. We recommend signing a bail bond on their behalf.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Read up on the DUI laws for Indiana beforehand and gain a thorough understanding of the local laws, penalties, and subsequent bail amounts. Contact your nearest bail bond agency straightaway and arrange for your friend\u2019s bail.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be required to pay an initial commission (usually equal to 10% of the total bail amount) and secure it with a collateral. As a part of the bond promise, you need to ensure that your friend attends all of their court hearings. Once they do so, you can ask for the collateral back.<\/p>\n
