What is DUI?

"Driving under the influence" (DUI) is commonly called "drunk driving and refers to operating a motor vehicle while one's blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit set by statute, which presumably is the level at which an individual cannot drive safely. Since May, 2007, all the state statutes regarding DUI are consistent and have set this limit at .08% for adults who are at lest 21 years old.

A person can be also be charged with DUI if he or she operates a motor vehicle while under the influence of any amount of alcohol or drugs, or a combination of both, which makes the person unable to safely operate the vehicle that he or she is driving.  Translation:  an adult can actually receive a DUI with a blood alcohol concentration that is less than .08%.

Why Do I Need a DUI Lawyer?

DUI lawyers work within a specialized area of jurisprudence known as DUI criminal law.  DUI attorneys have access to research data, legal techniques, and information of which other lawyers may not be aware.  DUI attorneys understand the "system" and offer you a better chance of retaining your freedom than you would have by representing yourself OR by hiring an attorney who is not proficient in or knowledgeable of DUI law.

The defense of a driving under the influence charge is a highly technical and extremely difficult undertaking.  There are many advantages a DUI lawyer can bring to the case.

A DUI attorney will be able to evaluate your case and determine whether there are constitutional violations or other defenses that potentially weaken the prosecution’s case.  Employing this information, the DUI attorney can negotiate with the prosecution for a reduced charge and in some circumstances, even get a complete dismissal of the charge.  In a word, without the representation of a DUI lawyer, your chances of getting the best possible results are substantially reduced.

In sum, a DUI lawyer is trained to properly identify and address the unique and highly complex issues found in a drunk driving defense case.
