This means that individuals who have been arrested for a drunk driving offense could be subject to two types of penalties. When the stakes are high, you will need to work with a defense lawyer who understands how to navigate both sides of a DUI case.

  • Jail or Prison Time
  • License Suspension
  • Multiple Court Hearings
  • Court Fees & Fines
  • Possible License Revocation
  • Impounded Car
  • Required AA Classes
  • Ignition Interlock Device
  • Increased Insurance Rates

Frequently Asked Questions

Get the Answers You Need, Fast.

  • Questions

  • Will I be penalized if I refuse to take a chemical test?

    Answer

    Almost all states implement what are known as “Implied Consent Laws.” In the simplest definition, implied consent basically means that all legally licensed drivers have agreed to take and complete a blood, breath, or chemical test when asked by law enforcement (upon obtaining a valid license). This means that you must cooperate and subject to a chemical test if an officer suspects you of drunk driving. Refusal to take this test could result in an immediate suspension of your driver’s license.

  • Are penalties more severe for commercial drivers?

    Answer

    It depends. Any type of criminal arrest can be serious for a person who relies on his or commercial license for his or her career. This is also true for other professionals, such as teachers, doctors, or others who rely on security clearance for their job. If you depend on a commercial license (CDL) for your job, however, you could be facing an immediate revocation of your license and your livelihood could be at stake. Speak with us immediately to determine the next steps you can take to help reduce the negative impact of a DUI arrest.

  • What is an Ignition Interlock Device (IID)?

    Answer

    An IID is a type of device that may be required to be installed in the vehicle of a driver who has been convicted of DUI. The device will prevent a driver from operating a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol by requiring a breath sample prior to starting the vehicle or while the vehicle is running. If the device detects an elevated BAC level, the vehicle will not start.

  • Why do I need to hire a defense lawyer?

    Answer

    There are numerous working parts involved in a DUI-related offense, and many of these working parts have to do with serious administrative penalties, court fees, insurance problems, licensing issues, jail time sentences, and more. To increase your chances of avoiding these negative consequences, you should involve a defense lawyer in your case sooner rather than later. Fast, proactive action can help minimize or completely eliminate penalization.

  • The type of drugs and narcotics involved
