General Criminal Defense Information

Topic: DUI Criminal Defense

The ramifications of a DUI arrest and conviction may be severe. Almost immediately after a DUI conviction your driving privileges may be at stake. An unsuccessful administrative hearing could lead to you loosing you drivers license for a period of six months to one year (if you refuse a breathalyzer test).

Individuals who's livelihood depends upon your ability to operate a motor vehicle may be immediately put in jeopardy. Adding insult to injury, your auto insurance rates may significantly rise or your policy canceled.

Experienced legal counsel will determine if challenging the details of the initial stop is prudent, as well as the police procedures and actions throughout the traffic stop, and the blood alcohol testing data. An experienced attorney will also conduct a discovery investigation which includes all police reports, witness statements, breathalyzer data and any other evidence or circumstances which may aid in your DUI defense.

It is important for you to understand that from the date of your DUI arrest you have ten days to schedule a hearing before the Department of Motor Vehicles or your license will be automatically suspended prior to any court appearances and regardless if you are later convicted or found not guilty.

Even though there is no guarantee that you will keep your license after the hearing, it is an imperative step which should not be ignored. Overlooking this process could make the process to reinstating your privileges even harder down the road. We can also assist you in this process further easing the burden which you may already be experiencing.
