DUI Defense

Driving under the Influence (DUI) is a well-known criminal offense of operating a vehicle while being under the power of either alcohol or drugs, or both. This can include circumstances of drinking and driving as well as impaired driving. DUI also can be synonymous with terms such as:

DWI (Driving While Intoxicated)
DUII (Driving under the Influence of Intoxicants)
OMVI (Operating Motor Vehicle Intoxicated)
OUI (Operation under the Influence)

DUI is considered a serious crime that accounts for a large number of serious injuries and fatalities each year in the United States. Consequently, punishment can be severe for persons found guilty of this offense. The offender faces loss of driving privileges, fines, and impounded vehicle. Moreover, repeat offenders and extenuating circumstances can lead to the house arrest, local confinement and even prison time.

However, most people have at one time or other driven home from a restaurant or bar after just one or two drinks. In these cases, it is likely that most were at or near their legal limit. Your weight, height and blood-sugar levels, all play a part in how alcohol affects you. It's easy to see how someone respected by their peers and the community can very easily become criminalized by the justice system.

You need an exceptional DUI attorney who can present your case and expose the best form of justice to the court. If you have a drinking problem, jail won't fix it. If you were on prescription medications for a valid reason, you may not even have been aware that you were putting yourself and others at risk.
