Save Your Driver's License á Protect Your Clean Record
If you have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol, you are no doubt well aware that this is a legal emergency. If you work closely with an experienced DUI defense lawyer, you may be surprised at the opportunities that may allow you to put this experience behind you. But if you do not take action in time, you could face some very tough consequences:
Driver's license suspension
Jail time
Excessive fines and fees
A criminal record if you are convicted
To preserve your driving privileges after a DUI arrest, you need to request an administrative hearing with the South Lake Tahoe DMV office. Your Reno or South Lake Tahoe DUI defense lawyer may discover essential information in preparation for this hearing that will result in a more favorable outcome:
Lack of probable cause if the arresting police officer did not have a good reason to stop you in traffic in the first place
Illegal search and seizure if the arresting police did not administer the field sobriety tests or if he ordered chemical testing without explaining your rights
Unreliable test results, even if the Breathalyzer seemed to indicate that your blood alcohol content (BAC) fell within the range of "drunk." Were the tests verifiably valid? Was the equipment properly calibrated, maintained and tested for accuracy?
Before you accept penalties such as these after a DUI arrest in South Lake Tahoe or elsewhere, we urge you to contact a dedicated, accomplished DUI defense attorney. A thorough review of your case may uncover the key to a positive outcome: charges reduced, case dismissed, charges reduced or acquittal at trial.
- Castellanos, John: Beware of those that make promises. Anyone that makes promises of your DUI offense court outcome for financial gain, is like someone telling you they will give you a winning lottery ticket, it is simply to good to be true.
- Morganstern, Jordan: Flashing lights in the rear-view mirror, the jarring sound of a police siren, the sickening realization that you are being pulled overÑthis experience is bad enough for any reason, but for a driver who has been drinkingÉit's a nightmare. If this has happened to you, one thing you can do that will virtually guarantee the nightmare gets worse is to hire a DUI / DWI defense attorney who does not understand the science of DUI / DWI and the impact it can have in these cases. Challenging the prosecution's evidence in a DUI / DWI case requires knowledge, trial skills, and creativity.
