If so, you will need to retain an lawyer experienced in the defense of DUI cases. Attorney Michael Ross has handled hundreds of DUI and DMV license suspension cases.
Please note: Most DUI arrests result in the filing of not just one, but two separate cases against you:
1.) A CRIMINAL COMPLAINT filed either as a misdemeanor or a felony by the District Attorney in Superior Court alleging that your driving was unsafe as a result of your drinking, and/or that your blood alcohol at the time of your driving was 0.08% or greater,
AND
2.) A DRIVERS LICENSE CASE with the DMV which may result in the suspension your drivers license if your blood alcohol at the time of driving was 0.08% or greater, or that you unlawfully refused to take a chemical test of your blood.
Special warning: Either you (or your attorney) must contact DMV within TEN (10) ACTUAL DAYS to request a hearing date to contest your license suspension, or else you will have waived this right - TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
CONSEQUENCES OF CONVICTION OF A DUI AND/OR DRIVER LICENSE SUSPENSION:
The maximum jail sentence for a first-time DUI is six months county jail. There is a drinking driver course that must be completed. A fine of two thousand dollars will be imposed. Probation is a minimum of three (3) years. In short, the penalties for a conviction for DUI can be catastrophic. Please note that the foregoing is for a first-conviction only. For cases where there has been an injury to third party caused by your driving under the influence, you may be charged with a felony resulting in incarceration in the State Prison. If you have prior convictions for DUI, may may also be charged with a felony. Lastly, if you have caused a fatality by driving under the influence, and you have a prior conviction for DUI, you could be charged with murder.
