The DUI Process

If you have just been arrested for a DUI and you have submitted to a blood test or breath test, you are going to have two separate cases coming against you. You are going to have an administrative civil action and you are going to have a criminal action. In the administrative civil action they are going to try and take your driver’s license and they might take it for as long as one year. You have seven days to request a hearing in that case. Please do not miss that deadline.

On the criminal side, depending on what happened in your case, they may want to put you in jail for up to one year, they may want to impose sanctions of probation that, quite frankly, many people find very oppressive. I can help you fight both cases. In the DMV side, usually the focus is on the reliability of the blood testing or the breath testing, I have specialized knowledge in that area. On the criminal side, those same principles apply, the same knowledge applies and we fight those cases. Even if it’s in front of a jury, we fight them all the way if that’s what our client wants and we fight them effectively because we have the specialized knowledge to do so.
