Any individual who consumes an alcohol drink and chooses to drive runs the risk of being arrested for a DUI, thus DUI’s are perhaps the most common offense that occurs in our society. As a result, law enforcement has increased their efforts to nab potential offenders by increasing road patrols and using roadblocks.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to be “trashed” or “drunk” to be charged but yet, most of those arrested are charged after consuming only a couple of drinks. Another misconception is that DUIs are limited to alcohol. In fact, individuals who use prescription medications and consume alcohol may also be impaired despite following their doctor’s orders.

Take Action RIGHT NOW

DUI laws are very specific so as a result many timelines are set in motion the moment you are arrested. If you miss any of these important deadlines, you could be negatively impacted. For that reason, it is vital that you speak with an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to defend your case and minimize, if not avoid, some of the long-term consequences that may come with a DUI charge, including: revocation of your driver’s license, mandatory jail time, and high fines.

Although each case is unique in nature, we will examine some, if not all, of the following elements as we prepare the defense of your case at trial and any applicable motions to suppress:

VALIDITY OF THE TRAFFIC STOP

Did law enforcement have just cause to pull you over?

FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS

Were they administered?

LAWFUL ARREST

Was there sufficient probable cause to arrest you?

BREATH/BLOOD/URINE RESULTS

Were they obtained legally and from a reliable machine, if applicable? Did existing medical conditions impact the outcome? For refusals, were you justified in declining the test?
