At The Owens Law Firm Link, our DUI/DWI lawyer may be able to challenge various aspects of your DUI arrest. The initial stop can be challenged, including the observations by the officer of the person and the vehicle. The administration of chemical and breath tests require adherence to strict guidelines. If those guidelines are not followed, that evidence should be suppressed. The consequences of a DUI arrest and conviction are severe. Your ability to drive is at stake almost immediately. If you do not prevail at the administrative hearing, you could lose your license from six months to one year (if you refuse a breathalyzer test). A conviction only makes this bad situation worse. If your career involves driving, that is put immediately in jeopardy. Auto insurance rates can skyrocket following a conviction. Retain Timothy Scott Owens, an experienced and knowledgeable attorney who will help you prepare an aggressive defense strategy designed to obtain the best possible results in your particular case. The Ten Day RuleFollowing your DUI/DWI arrest, you have ten days to schedule a hearing before the Department of Motor Vehicles or your license will be automatically suspended prior to any criminal conviction. While there is no guarantee that you will keep your license after the hearing, it is an important step to take that many people overlook. If the ability to keep driving is important to you, you should retain a knowledgeable DUI / DWI lawyer. Before driving, visit the Drink Wheel to estimate your blood alcohol content and whether or not you would pass a breath test if pulled over. Play it safe. If in doubt—call a cab.
