WHAT IS A DUI?
DUI stands for “Driving Under the Influence”. In some
states driving under the influence is referred to as DWI, “Driving
While Intoxicated”. DUI laws cover serious criminal offenses
related to driving a car, a boat or any other motor vehicle while
intoxicated. In most states, if your blood alcohol level is .1 and
you're driving a vehicle, you are considered intoxicated and guilty
of a DUI. Some states set a stricter
intoxication level at .08 or greater.
DO I NEED A LAWYER?
If you are facing DUI charges, you should talk to a criminal lawyer
at once. A DUI charge is very serious. It can affect your job, your
personal life and your freedom. The states and the federal government
are increasingly making the DUI and DWI laws more stringent and the
penalties more harsh. Besides facing jail time, you could also forfeit
your license and face substantial monetary fines. Your insurance
rates could increase dramatically. Finally, you could end up with
a criminal conviction on your record that could adversely affect
your future.
It is extremely important that you get a lawyer whose practice focuses
on DUI offenses. The right criminal lawyer may be able to affect the
outcome of your case. Some will say that an aggressive experienced
DUI lawyer is looking for loopholes and technicalities to get you
off. We believe that your criminal lawyer is merely acting within
the law and constitution, and simply doing their job to provide you
the best defense and protect your freedom and rights.

HOW STRONG IS MY CASE?
Your lawyer will seek to uncover and understand every aspect of law
enforcement’s case against you. Thus, your lawyer can build
the best defense for you, and understand your potential risk, damages
and options.
Here is list of some of the many questions he will focus his investigation
around in order to best evaluate the strength of your case. Depending
on your state, some or all of the following questions will be carefully
analyzed by your lawyer to determine the strength of your case:
 Did the officer tell you, you had the right to have your lawyer present
before taking any tests?
Were you observed
for 20 minutes before taking a breath test?
If you took
a road side test for sobriety, was it on flat ground, and was it
well lit?
Were you told by the officer, that if you refused to take a road
side test, your license would be automatically suspended?
Do you have a physical condition that causes you dizziness, lack
of coordination, and poor balance?
Did you get pulled over in your car for weaving, obstructing traffic,
or failing to stay within your lane?
Could your nervousness or exhausted state have been confused by the officer
to be a sign of intoxication?
Did you sustain injuries from an accident?
