DUI/DWI lawyer at Nelson & Lawless
A DUI is not probable cause to pull you over. It is the crime you are charged with after being pulled over. If an officer sees probable cause, like you leaving a bar and getting into a car, he pulls you over and tests for intoxication, then and arrests you for DUI. You do not have to be over the legal limit to be convicted of DUI, only impaired driving. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire a local attorney who does, A little free advice: If arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking, the defendant is given documents that include a notice that he has only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of license imposed by DMV upon arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by DMV or the court upon conviction.
