Driving Under the Influence ( DUI): Long lasting impact

If you have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) you should immediately contact a criminal  attorney. If convicted you may be subject to suspension of your drivers’ license, but also you could serve time and most certainly will suffer a significant increase in insurance premiums.

Even if you have failed a blood alcohol or breath test there are options for challenging the testing. Tests can be thrown out for illegal stops, lack of probable cause and other violations. Field sobriety tests can also be challenged on the science. 

When you are arrested for DUI your license may be confiscated. However, you should be aware that you may challenge the actual suspension if you act immediately to do so.

The bottom line is, though DUIs are fairly common, in no way are they simple to resolve. The impact of a DUI is expensive and long lasting. It is well worth hiring an attorney to get the best result.
