Consequences of a Drunk Driving Conviction
Law enforcement and prosecutors have stepped up their pursuit of driving under the influence charges, and the penalties for conviction can be harsh. Even if you are ultimately acquitted, you can lose your license for at least thirty days. If convicted, you may be prohibited from driving for four months, even with a first offense. Other consequences may include having an ignition interlock device placed on your car, paying a fine, completing a required driving program and possibly going to jail.
There are enhanced penalties if you have been convicted of a prior DUI, if you refuse to take the BAC test, if you have a child in the car or if you have a blood alcohol content significantly higher than the legal limit. Enhanced penalties for multiple offenses can include higher fines, more jail time, longer license suspension and designation as a habitual offender.
How a Lawyer Can Defend You Against a DUI Charge
Our attorneys challenge the evidence at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) hearing, as license suspension is actually a separate administrative process. We also challenge the blood alcohol content (BAC) measurements by obtaining the maintenance records of the Intoxilyzer 5000 used to measure BAC. We challenge the traffic stop to ensure that the officer had probable cause to make the stop, and we retest the blood samples to be sure that the evidence against you is accurate.
Our goal is always to keep you driving. If needed, we will help you apply for a restricted license so you can get to work or school, if you are under 21 years old. In cases of multiple offender DUI charges, we seek to have prior convictions stricken from the record so that current charges are not taken into consideration.
