Arrested for a DUI?
If you or a loved one have been arrested for a DUI-related offense remember time is of the essence to gather and evaluate all of the facts surrounding your stop, interview, field sobriety tests, and chemical tests (breath and/or blood).
- Was the initial stop legal?
- Were the field sobriety tests properly administered?
- Was the proper advice given prior to a request for a breath test?
- Was the breathalyzer machine properly calibrated and tested for accuracy within the required time prior to your arrest?
- Did medical conditions or medication contribute to the facts on which the arrest was based?
How serious is a DUI?
Many factors go into determining the seriousness of the penalties you face following a DUI conviction. It is difficult to forecast exactly what will occur during your case, but your penalties will depend on the following factors:
- Driving with blood alcohol content (BAC) level of over .08
- Causing an accident while driving under the influence
- Driving with a restricted license
- Driving with a commercial driver's license (CDL)
- Driving while under the influence of drugs
- Driving while underage
- Previous arrests or convictions
