Being charged with a DUI (driving under intoxication), also called DWI can have lasting negative consequences, and is considered a criminal offense with serious criminal and civil penalties.
If you were arrested for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, which is illegal, you are probably facing jail time and costly monetary fines. Not only do you face losing your driver’s license, but you could also face losing your job–and your entire life could be affected!
It’s important to know:
Did the officer/s have reasonable suspicion?
Did the officer/s follow procedure?
What were the road conditions?
How were field sobriety tests conducted, if any? Or, did you refuse a field sobriety test?
How was a breathalyzer test or blood alcohol test conducted?
We not only know the law, but a significant part of our practice is knowing how to effectively navigate legal matters.
