"DUI" stands for Driving under the Influence and occurs when someone is
operating, or is in actual physical control, of a motor vehicle while under the
influence of alcohol or other controlled substance to the extent that their mental
faculties are impaired and/or their blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal
limit.

Even for a first offense, penalties can include license suspension, substantial fines,
community service, mandatory attendance at a state or DMV approved alcohol
program, mandatory overnight incarceration and the required installation (at the
offender's expense) of a car ignition locking device.

In addition, a DUI conviction stays on a DMV record for several years, it typically
results in higher insurance premiums, and an offender may become ineligible for
credit.  Plus, a DUI could also jeopardize your employment opportunities.

DUI’S are the most common type of crime.  We all know at least one person in our
life who has been convicted of a DUI.  Unfortunately, many lawyers out there take
on DUI cases because there is a myth that they are easy money.  The truth is that
DUI cases are severely complex and difficult if your attorney is exploring all
defenses, including attacking the blood-alcohol level evidence and scientific
evidence , or filing motions to suppress for illegal search and seizure issues.

If or a loved one has been arrested for a DUI, then call for a free consultation at our
office with an attorney willing to explore all defenses and do what it takes to fight
for you!
