DUI

State laws prohibiting drinking and driving have become increasingly complex in the last five years. In our state, the legal limit for blood or breath alcohol while operating a vehicle is .08. A first offender faces mandatory jail, suspension of driver's license and monetary penalties of up to $5000.00 or more. When representing DUI cases, each client is fully advised of their rights as a criminal defendant, and what to expect as their case progresses. A client may qualify for the Deferred Prosecution program, which allows him or her to seek treatment in lieu of prosecution for the crime. A Deferred Prosecution is also available for other types of misdemeanors, so long as the statutory requirements are met.
