DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
some judges like to put a young person in jail for a day or two to make sure he learns the lesson, but most will just put on probation with classes and community service he will lose his license for a year unless a rabbit jumps out of a hat In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are material and exculpatory. Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.

How much trouble am I in exactly for being arrested for DUI?

Cynthia Russell Henley
Answered by attorney Cynthia Russell Henley (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Cynthia Henley
It is a class A misdemeanor for which you could receive up to 1 year in jail and up to a $4,000 fine. You could also have your license suspended. You need to hire a lawyer immediately because you have limited time to request a hearing on your driver's license matter or your license will automatically be suspended. Also, your lawyer may want to use that hearing for discovery on the criminal case.

If I had blood drawn and the results read .08 alcohol in my system, was I legally intoxicated?

Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)

That may be enough to arrest, but alone it's not enough to tell whether you were either intoxicated or .08% at the time of driving which is what the state needs to show. Problems with blood tests are their machines aren't accurate and the blood sits out unrefrigerated for days before its tested. This can cause fermentation. Fermentation increases the alcohol in the blood when tested.
