  Investigation

  The event that starts the DUI process is the initial investigation. When an officer has reasonable cause to believe you’re driving under the influence you’ll be pulled over for questioning.

  If you exhibit signs of intoxication you may be asked to take a preliminary breath test and field sobriety tests. If you refuse to take, or fail either of these tests you will be placed under arrest for driving under the influence.

  Arrest

  After you’ve been arrested the officer will take you to a local hospital, police station, or jail to administer a blood test and/or breath test to determine your blood alcohol concentration. If you refuse to take a chemical test your driver’s license will automatically be revoked for one year.

  Booking

  During booking your personal possessions will be inventoried and your fingerprints and mugshot photographs will be taken. Depending on circumstances you could be released immediately after booking, either on your own recognizance or after posting any required bail.

  From here, a prosecutor will review your case, formally charge you with a DUI, issue a citation, and give you an arraignment date.

  Hire an attorney

  Prior to your first court date you will need to decide how to proceed with your defense. You have two options; a public defender if you meet the low income threshold, or hire a private DUI defense attorney.

  Public defenders are assigned at random, and can be hit or miss. You have no way of knowing what type of experience they have or what their caseload is like. You could possibly wind up with someone who doesn’t fully understand how to fight your case, or is so overworked that they are under prepared for your trial.

  For the best possible outcome, with the highest chances of getting your case dismissed or charges reduced, you need to hire an experienced DUI attorney.

  Contest Your License Revocation

  Pellentesque erat elit, bibendum eget vestibulum vitae, pretium sed libero. Cras sollicitudin dictum blandit. Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas.

  The scope of the hearing is usually focused on the following:

  • If you failed to submit to an evidentiary test such as a breath or blood test
  • If your blood alcohol level was above the legal limit, and/or
  • If the officer who ordered the test had reasonable grounds to administer the test.

  If the arresting officer does not make an appearance in court, your chances of avoiding license revocation are high. Surprisingly, this happens often.

  Contesting a license revocation can be quite tricky, so it’s beneficial to have an experienced DUI lawyer to represent you during this process. If you win this hearing, your license will be returned to you following the end of the case which can save you a lot of trouble.
