DUI Lawyers

DUI lawyers handle cases arising from an arrest in which two conditions are alleged:

+ The defendant was driving or operating a motor vehicle.
+ The defendant was impaired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating fumes, or the defendant was driving with an open container of alcohol in the vehicle.
Why Do You Need a Personal Injury Lawyer?

If someone dies as a result of an accident involving alcohol or drugs, the motorist will likely be charged with vehicular homicide. Drug- and alcohol-related crimes can be either a misdemeanor, depending on state law and severity of the crime. Convictions remain on your record for life, so you must seek counsel from a competent DUI lawyer who will ensure that your rights are fully protected.

Drinking and driving is not a crime. Driving while impaired or under the influence of alcohol is a crime.

+ DUI – Driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or intoxicating fumes.
+ DWI – Driving a motor vehicle while intoxicated.
+ OUI – Operating under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating fumes.
+ OWI – Operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated.

Drunk Driving Punishments

The punishment in drunk driving cases is set forth by state statute and can be incredibly complex. The basic statute determines the range of possible sentences, with modifications for such things as:

Having a prior conviction within seven years
Speeding 20 mph over the limit
Having a child under 14 in the car
Having a blood alcohol content reading over .20%
Refusing to submit to chemical testing

Within the range, the actual sentence in a drunk driving case will be affected by:

The facts of the case
Any policies of the local court and prosecutors
The weaknesses in the case uncovered by the defense attorney
The reputation of that attorney
All of this is independent of a DMV suspension, which is determined separately and which can be very complicated.
