Driving under the Influence of alcohol (DUI), or "drunk driving", is one of the most commonly committed crimes in the United States. However, it is very frequently committed by noncriminals --- that is, by good people who are otherwise respectable law-abiding citizens who have never been in trouble with the law before.
Getting arrested and charged with a DUI or DWI is a traumatic, intimidating and very serious matter. The experience demands an experienced defense attorney.
First-offender DUI drivers who are convicted can face up to 1 year in jail; up to $1,000 in fines and penalties; and a minimum license suspension of 6 months. Second-offender DUI drivers can face up to 2 years in jail; up to $2,000 in fines and penalties; and a minimum license suspension of 1 year. A Third-offender DUI driver faces up to 3 years in jail ; up to $3,000 in fines and penalties; and a minimum license suspension of 18 months.
There are at least 8 common DUI defenses that I am aware of : (1) the accused was not the driver; (2) improper police actions that violated the accused's civil rights; (3) rising blood alcohol concentration; improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the blood test as well as the chain of custody of the blood; (4) improper police stop of the driver; (5) improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the field sobriety tests; (6) improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the portable breathalyzer; and (7) improper administration and/or inaccuracy of the standard breathalyzer test.
