DUI/Criminal Matters/Traffic/CDL

We also handle an extensive criminal defense caseload, including DUI (OVI), suspended licenses, and misdemeanor and felony offenses of all kinds.

DUI's are fairly common. If you have a doubt about your ability to drive - don't. The use of roadside sobriety checks is increasing. First offense DUI penalties are tough: a minimum of three days in jail or a Driver Intervention Program (DIP), a fine between $375- $1,000.00, loss of driving privileges for six months (no occupationals for the first 15 days (first offense), a license reinstatement fee exceeding $400 and other sanctions.

A high alcohol level may result in actual jail time, driving privileges with restricted plates, and an ignition interlock system. A second and subsequent offenses result in more jail time and less driving privileges.

If you are charged with a DUI, contact our office to schedule an appointment immediately - we can even conduct our first interview over the phone if necessary. We can review the circumstances of your arrest, determine whether state regulations were followed in the administration of a breath test, and make sure you know all the options to make an important decision.

We can also help you obtain temporary driving privileges.
