What is DUI?

DUI is known as "driving under the influence" and "drunk driving" and refers to operating a motor vehicle while one's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above the legal limit set by statute, which by all accounts is the level at which a person cannot drive safely.  It may be pointed out that since May, 2007, all the state statutes are "the same" and have set this limit at .08% for adults who are 21 years old or older.

It is important to emphasize the fact that a person can also be charged with "driving under the influence" if he or she drives a motor vehicle while under the influence of any amount of alcohol or drugs, or a mixture of drugs and alcohol, which makes the person unable to safely operate the vehicle that he or she is driving.  What this primarily means is that an adult can in practice, receive a DUI with a blood alcohol content level that is less than .08%.

Why Do I Need a DUI Attorney?

If you have been charged with "driving under the influence," it is sensible for you to get advice from a DUI lawyer in your area as soon as you can.  By doing this, you will clearly know what to expect when you appear in court.  By and large, criminal DUI cases tend to move relatively quickly through the court system and unfamiliarity with the procedural requirements and various deadlines could negatively affect your case.  Armed with this information in mind, it makes a lot of sense to hire a DUI attorney for your DUI arrest.

Getting stopped by a police officer and being accused of "drunk driving" or "driving under the influence" can be a frightening and a stressful experience.  Many "good" citizens with no criminal record experience these feelings every day due to the fact that they have received a DUI.  A DUI lawyer will help you understand what has happened to you and what lies ahead regarding your DUI arrest.

If you have been charged with DUI you need an attorney who will aggressively represent your legal rights through the complexities involved in a DUI case.  DUI lawyers will able to assist you every step of the way through the criminal process and help you find the answers you need.

A DUI lawyer will be able to assess your case and determine if there are constitutional violations or other defenses that can weaken the prosecution’s case.  Equipped with this information, the DUI lawyer can negotiate with the prosecution for a reduced charge and in some circumstances, even receive a complete dismissal of the charge.  Stated simply, without the representation of a DUI lawyer you reduce your chances of getting the best possible results to a considerable extent.

During the course of a DUI investigation if there are irregularities or evidence that could cause the DUI charge to be thrown out of court, it is quite improbable that the police, court system, or the prosecution will be highly "encouraged" tell you about these circumstances.

In point of fact, in many if not most instances, you may never become aware that an “irregularity” ever took place.  A DUI attorney, however, will be able to find such “irregularities” and bring this evidence to the attention of the court and the prosecution.  And in some circumstances and based on this “evidence,” your DUI lawyer may be able to get your charges substantially reduced or dismissed.
