First Time DUI Offense
  • We all know how serious driving under the
    influence can be, not only does it carry the
    stigma of being associated with a serious charge
    such as DUI, but also the after effects and
    continual reciprocal effects on life in general.
    But did you know that drugs and alcohol are
    considered to be amongst the most serious traffic
    violations? Whenever youre trying to resolve a
    DUI charge, it can be extremely difficult and
    time-consuming. Sometimes its not as easy as
    just paying a fine and court cost. A first-time
    DUI can even result in jail time and could even
    cost you your drivers license. Dont ever let a
    DUI charge affect your permanent record.

Under the influence
  • A person is considered under the influence if
    they are substantially impaired by drugs,
    alcohol, or a combination of substances. In
    states like California, there are zero-tolerance
    laws in effect that prohibit underage age
    motorists from driving with a BAC of .01 or
    more. In many states, a DUI conviction will stay
    on your record and count as a prior conviction
    for ten years.

Penalties for DUI convictions
  • In recent years, many States have passed a
    number of new laws, which have increased the
    penalties for DUI convictions. DUI charges for
    first-time offenders are extremely critical and
    perhaps the most serious traffic-related criminal
    matter a defendant can face. In many instances,
    if a persons blood alcohol content is high
    enough, there may even be mandatory active jail
    time for a first offense, in addition to any
    other penalties or restrictions that a Judge may
    impose.

Finding a DUI defense lawyer
  • Finding a DUI defense lawyer is extremely
    important, especially if you want to fight your
    case appropriately. Statistics show that the
    majority of DUI defendants who actually have
    hired a lawyer, get charges dismissed or never
    filed. In some cases, a DUI lawyer can get its
    client acquitted altogether. So, if youve been
    arrested for drunk driving, you dont want to
    take your DUI lightly. There are ways to reduce
    your punishment and move past your DUI faster.
     But only if you have the right DUI attorney on
    your side. The next time you or anyone you know
    gets pulled over for a DUI, instead of relying on
    the police and prosecutors to help you understand
    it, get in touch with our professionals to put it
    all into perspective.
