What is DUI?

DUI is known as "drunk driving" and "driving under the influence" and refers to operating a motor vehicle while one's blood alcohol content is above the legal limit set by statute, which by all accounts is the level at which an individual cannot safely drive.  It may be highlighted that since May, 2007, all the state statutes are consistent and have set this limit at .08% for adults who are at least 21 years old.

It is important to underline the fact that an individual can also be charged with "driving under the influence" (DUI) if he or she drives a motor vehicle while under the influence of any amount of alcohol or drugs (legal or illegal), or a mixture of drugs and alcohol which makes the individual unable to safely operate the vehicle which he or she is driving.  What this basically means is that an adult can in "real life" get arrested for a DUI with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) that is less than .08%.

Why Do I Need a DUI Lawyer?

If you have been charged with "driving under the influence" (DUI), you would be wise to get consultation from a DUI lawyer in your area as soon as possible.  By doing this, you will undoubtedly know what to expect when you appear in court.  For the most part, criminal DUI cases tend to move relatively quickly through the court system and unfamiliarity with the procedural requirements and the different deadlines could adversely affect your case.  Equipped with this information, it seems reasonable for you to hire a DUI attorney for your DUI arrest.

Once a DUI lawyer is hired to "fight "for your legal rights, he or she will immediately begin going through every detail of your case to find out if there's any procedure that was improperly followed.  Stated another way, your DUI lawyer will be looking to see if the police officer did everything in the manner he or she was supposed to and whether or not there was a “lawful stop.”

Remember that what matters is not so much whether you are innocent or guilty, but whether the prosecution has enough evidence to prove their case against you. Along with this line of reasoning, please keep in mind that you are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  And by hiring a DUI attorney, you are increasing the chances that you will experience the best possible results for your situation.

Having a DUI defense lawyer can make the entire DUI experience feel much less stressful.  Not only this, but a DUI attorney can prepare you for the proceedings each and every step of the way, answer your questions, and ensure that if there is a way to help you within the law, he or she will find this way.
