Preventing the suspension of your driver\u2019s license<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

As soon as you have been charged with drunk driving, the state initiates the suspension of your license. After your arrest, you only have a short time to request an administrative hearing to fight the license suspension. These hearings can be abrupt and you can easily lose your license before you even realize it is your turn to speak.

\nWe understand the issues that they consider, and are skilled at finding defenses that can help you avoid or shorten the term of your driver\u2019s license suspension. Do not go to the hearing without my representation.<\/p>\n

\n

Drunk driving charges <\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

The charges you face when pulled over for drunk driving are determined by the combination of your performance on standardized field sobriety tests and the amount of alcohol found in your system. A conviction for drunk driving can result in a high number of points on your license, and can lead to the suspension and revocation of that license in addition to fines and jail time. Driving while under the influence of drugs carries similar penalties.<\/p>\n

\n

Driving while impaired (DWI)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

If your blood alcohol content (BAC) is found to be in the range of .02% to .07%, you may be charged with driving while impaired (DWI). You may also be arrested under this charge if you refuse to take a breath test and the police officer has other reasons to believe that you are impaired by drugs or alcohol. If you are convicted of DWI, you may face a drivers license suspension, points on your driving record, a fine and\/or jail time.<\/p>\n

\n

Driving under the influence (DUI)<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

A BAC of .08 or higher leads to the more serious charge of driving under the influence (DUI). Penalties for a DUI conviction include drivers license suspension, significant points on your driving record, a significant fine and more time in jail.<\/p>\n

\n

Driving under the influence of drugs<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n

If you are convicted of driving under the influence of drugs, the penalties are as severe as those for a DUI include drivers license suspension, significant points on your driving record, a significant fine and more time in jail.

\nSubsequent convictions lead to much more harsh penalties, including longer license suspensions as well as years in jail. If you have previously been convicted of DUI or DWI, you have an even greater need of experienced assistance from a criminal defense lawyer. <\/p>\n
