Can an blood test show more alcohol than a breathalyzer test?

Answered by attorney Terry Alan Nelson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
No, all the testing methods show the same result if taken at the same time. The courts would not accept results if they weren't accurate every time. A little free advice: When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

Wife just picked up for a DWI with a child. What sentence will she get and what is a good estimate for total fines from her charges?

Answered by attorney Cordt Cullen Akers (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Akers Firm PLLC
First off, I'm sorry this happened to you and your family.  It's always difficult when a familiy member, especially a spouse, gets in legal trouble.  The first and best thing you can do for your wife is find her the best criminal defense lawyer you can.  DWI with Child Passenger is a state jail felony offense, punishable by 6 months to 2 years in the state jail facility, or probation in certain cases.  Hopefully she did not, as you said, 'take a swing' at the officer as that would land her with a 2-10 year indictment ofr assault of a public servant.  Suffice it to say that this case is very serious.  Call a local criminal defense lawyer...this website is a great place to start your search.  Many of us offer free consultations on these types of cases, and can advise you on how best to proceed.  Meet with a few lawyers, then hire the one that you and your wife believe can keep her out of jail.  Hope I helped, good luck!   Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer, Cogdell Law Firm (713) 426-2244 cordt@cogdell-law.com

Is 20k to much for a lawyer for 3rd DWI offense?

M. Irene Wilson
Answered by attorney M. Irene Wilson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at M. Irene Wilson, Attorney at Law
Lawyer fees vary but this fee is not necessarily too high.  A DWI 3rd is a third degree felony and is punished from two to ten years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.  If your lawyer is taking the case to trial, he or she will  prepare for expert testimony and science so there is complex work to be done.  Good luck.  M. Irene Wilson
