Did you know... anyone with a DUI faces certain mandatory sentences which may include:

A minimum 6 month drivers license suspension |

A period of probation. |
|

A possible jail sentence. |
|

DUI school/alcohol evaluation. |

Community service. |
|
- |
A minimum 10 day impoundment of vehicle. |
|
- |
The possibility of an Ignition Interlock device being placed on your vehicle. |
I can advise you based on the facts of your case as to what your options are:
|
- |
Can you get a work permit? |
|
- |
Can you suppress the breath results? |
|
- |
Are there any defenses to your video-taped performance of sobriety test? |
|
- |
Can your case be reduced to a lesser charge of Reckless Driving? |
Many DUI cases that appear to be hopeless are in fact winnable.
A thorough review of the police report, breath test results, and video-tape of your arrest may reveal possible defenses not readily apparent.

Drivers License Information If you took the breath test and blew .08 or above or if you refused the breath test, you will automatically lose your license.
These "administrative suspensions" will occur regardless of the outcome of your DUI case in court.
You do have the right to challenge these suspensions. This challenge is made during a "Formal Review Hearing" at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
YOU MUST REQUEST A FORMAL REVIEW HEARING WITHIN 10 DAYS OF YOUR ARREST!
If your breath test result is above the legal limit(.08) or you refused to provide a breath sample, the DUI citation you received will, in most cases, act as a 10-day driving permit. However, after this initial 10-day period, you will be subject to a 30 or 90 day "hard" suspension. The hard suspension means you will not be permitted to have a hardship or business license. YOU MUST ACT WITHIN 10 DAYS OF YOUR ARREST TO PRESERVE YOUR DRIVING PRIVILEGE.
