Danbury DUI Lawyers
- Yorio Law Group:
You Have Rights as a Defendant
There is constitutional protection for Connecticut citizens that have been charged with a crime. We defend people against a variety of misdemeanors and felonies, including:
* Serious traffic violations, such as driving while suspended
* Driving under the influence (DUI)
* Drug possession and drug trafficking
* Assault and battery
* Domestic violence
* Theft
* Shoplifting
* Juvenile crimes
Did the police have probable cause to pull you over in your vehicle? Is the evidence admissible if the police did not have a proper warrant? These and other questions commonly arise in any criminal case. An attorney can examine the facts, examine the law, and provide you with an honest assessment.

- Romanello Law Firm:
Driving Under the Influence/Driving While Intoxicated are considered serious offenses in Connecticut. A convicted first-time DUI offender is ordered to pay a fine, 90 day suspension of driverŐs license and may be sentenced to a short jail term. There are certain programs available to first-time offenders, which allow the defendantŐs punishment to be decreased under certain circumstances.
If you are later convicted of the charge, you will be subject to a one year suspension in addition to a fine, community service, and/or jail time. For second and third offenses, the penalties increase dramatically.
It is extremely important to hire an attorney as there are effective defenses to charges of drunk driving, our DUI attorneys do everything possible to achieve the best outcome for clients charged with driving under the influence. ?
- Dom Chieffalo: Aside
from expensive court costs and fines, lost wages, attorneysŐ fees, and
sky-rocketing insurance rates, an OUI conviction could even cost you
future employment opportunities.
Drunk driving charges are not the only provision of the OUI statute.
Charges may be brought for the operation of a vehicle under substances
including cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and other illegal drugs. In
addition, an OUI charge related to drugs may be accompanied by charges
like drug possession, distribution, drug trafficking, possession of a
controlled substance, and others.
If you are facing an OUI or drunk driving charge, it is imperative that
you find an experienced DWI attorney whom you can trust.

Payne: Alcohol Education Program (AEP) This program, which is designed
for those arrested for the first time for Operating Under the Influence
(DWI), requires completion of either a 10 or 15 week group counseling
session and attendance at a Victims Impact Panel. The program fee
ranges from $425-650. After the expiration of one year, in the absence
of any additional arrests for DWI, the charge will be dismissed. If
serious physical injuries are involved, good cause must be shown before
the program will be granted. A prior conviction of Connecticuts DWI
statute, Section 14a-227a C.G.S., or a similar statute from another
state, will disqualify an applicant from getting the program. The law
does allow someone who has already successfully completed the program
more than 10 years earlier to request entry into the program again.
