7. Alley, John: Alabama Drunk Driving Driving under the influence, as well as driving while intoxicated can have disastrous results on our roads nowadays. In fact, in the year 2007 alone, about 12,998 people were killed in alcohol-impaired driving crashes (www-nrd.nhtsa.dot.gov/Pubs/811016.PDF). Driving is considered a privilege, not a right. Getting caught driving under the influence or drunk driving can have severe consequences, such as getting your driving privileges revoked (temporarily or permanently), and causing your insurance rates to dramatically increase. In addition to this, you will most likely have to serve time in jail, as well as possibly perform some type of community service. Drunk driving usually pertains to when someone has consumed enough alcohol to impair his or her judgment and abilities while operating a motor vehicle. This is also known as driving while intoxicated (DWI). In the case of driving under the influence however, one can become impaired due to consuming alcohol and/or other types of drugs. Whether they are prescription drugs (such as painkillers), or illegal drugs, (such as marijuana), either can have side effects which can impair even the best drivers out there. Since these types of drugs impair one’s judgment, it’s no surprise that a lot of people get caught driving on our roadways under the influence, and are incarcerated. Checkpoints are often setup on major roadways in order to detect people that are driving under the influence or intoxicated. During these checkpoints, if the officers suspect one is impaired, he or she will most likely have to take a sobriety test. Upon failing that test, he or she will be arrested, and have his or her car confiscated and taken to an impound lot. While both of these types of drug and alcohol abuse are major crimes, the DUI offense is usually considered to be a lesser charge. However after four offenses, a DUI becomes a felony, which will result in the most severe penalties. Jail time is significantly increased (as much as ten year terms), and there’s the possibility of permanent loss of driving privileges. No one out there ever thinks he or she will be arrested for such a crime. Unfortunately though, it can happen to anyone, since drugs impair judgment and rational thought. If you are ever arrested and charged with DUI or DWI, you will need a lawyer who has experience in defending people who are charged with such offenses.
8. Collier Swecker: Our firm represents and advises clients who have been charged with driving under the influence. Such charges can have serious consequences. A conviction will result in fines and possibly land you in jail. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an under the influence or impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced attorney can make all the difference.
9. Walton Law Firm: The penalties for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) are serious. If you or a loved one has been arrested, you need an experienced attorney as soon as possible to keep you out of jail and help protect your rights. In addition to mandatory jail time and loss of your driving privileges, a DUI can have other devastating consequences. Conviction can mean the loss or suspension of your professional license, loss of your commercial driver’s license, loss of your pilot’s license, loss of your job, dramatic increases in automobile insurance premiums, cancellation of automobile insurance, downgrades to your credit rating, loss of qualification for a student loan, loss of your ability to enter the military, even loss of your right to vote. The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that criminal defendants have a right to the assistance of counsel. Courts have interpreted this to mean that criminal defendants have a right to an attorney during all critical stages throughout the criminal process.
