    2. Hawkins Law Office: A DUI is a serious offense, and requires legal assistance. If you have been charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), the consequences can vary widely, and are often influenced by your age, blood alcohol content (BAC), previous charges, and if you caused injury or death. Hawkins Law Office can help you assess your legal situation, including the consequences you may be facing, the fines you may be required to pay, and the process you will have to go through. Whether you want to take your case to trial or allow us to negotiate a plea agreement with the prosecutor...
    3. Jamison Law Office: from alcohol intoxication and traffic offenses (including driving under the influence of alcohol) to serious felony offenses including offenses involving controlled substances, violent crimes such as assault and robbery, felony theft and theft by fraud, sex crimes, criminal behavior directed against the legal system, and murder
    4. Croslin, Kevin: Criminal Defense: In the United States, citizens are innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. Criminal defense cases are rarely, if ever, the "open and shut" case that we hear about.
    5. Burton, Dwight: A criminal charge placed against you is a very serious matter. Kentucky and Tennessee lawmakers have passed some of the strictest criminal penalties in the country. Criminal defense attorney Dwight BurtonÑ licensed to practice law in both Kentucky and Tennessee federal and state courtsÑhas been helping people accused of a variety of criminal offenses for many years. A felony or misdemeanor conviction can change the course of a life forever.

    7. Zachary Kafoglis: You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
    8. Dean Sexton: The Fourth Amendment generally protects the right of people to be free from "unreasonable searches and seizures." In order for a search or seizure to be reasonable under the Fourth Amendment, it must usually be based on individualized suspicion of wrongdoing. In 1979, the U.S. Supreme Court held in Delaware v. Prouse that randomly stopping an automobile to apprehend unlicensed drivers and unsafe vehicles constitutes an unreasonable seizure under the Fourth Amendment, where the officer does not have reasonable suspicion that a motorist has violated the law. The Court reasoned that the State's interest in ensuring roadway safety does not justify discretionary spot checks that intrude on the privacy of motorists. However, the Court has since made a limited exception for DUI sobriety checkpoints, holding that officers may perform random spot checks to catch drunk drivers with no requirement of individualized suspicion.

    1. Goff, Milton: In every state it is illegal for a driver to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs. In the State of Kentucky this offense is known as driving under the influence (DUI). In the State of Ohio, this offense is known as operating a motor vehicle impaired (OVI). The DUI and OVI laws make it illegal for a person to operate a car, truck, motorcycle, or commercial vehicle if: * The driver's ability to safely operate a vehicle is impaired by the effects of alcohol, illegal drugs, prescribed medications such as painkillers, or even over-the-counter medications such as antihistamines; or * The driver is intoxicated at a level above established DUI and OVI standards, known as blood-alcohol concentration (BAC). * Both Kentucky and Ohio have set the maximum blood alcohol concentration to be .08 for an adult age 21 or older and .02 for a person below the age of 21. If a person operates a motor vehicle at or above these levels, it is considered to be a "per se" violation. For a per se violation, the State needs only to prove the driver's blood alcohol concentration was at or above .08 for an adult 21 years of age or older and .02 for a person below age 21. However, the absence of this per se evidence does not prevent the police officer from filing a DUI/OVI charge. If there is sufficient evidence to show intoxication, the officer is permitted to charge the person with DUI/OVI, but will be required to prove the intoxication with other evidence. That is one way the field sobriety tests are used, to help establish evidence that the driver is intoxicated. Field Sobriety and Chemical Tests are these required? When a police officer makes a vehicle stop for a DUI/OVI, he must have as a suspicion that the person operating the vehicle may be impaired. The officer may conduct field sobriety tests to establish probable cause to arrest. The officer may ask for the driver's consent to perform some of the tests. Field sobriety tests normally involve a police officer requesting that the driver perform a number of the tasks so the officer may assess any impairment of the person's physical or cognitive ability. These tests are commonly referred to as divided attention tests because the officer observes the driver's ability to listen to the instructions on how to perform the test and then properly perform the tests. Some examples of the field sobriety tests include having the driver recite the alphabet from "D" to "Q"; having the driver walk a straight line, heel to toe; performing a one leg stand, and submitting to a portable breath test (PBT). There is no legal requirement that a driver submit to the field sobriety tests. If the driver refuses the field sobriety test, he or she most likely will be arrested. Only the driver knows exactly how much he or she had to drink or what types of medications or drugs he or she used prior to being stopped. In Kentucky and Ohio, the PBT is inadmissible to prove intoxication because it is not required to be maintained or calibrated the same way as the mandatory breathalyzer units are required to be calibrated and maintained. However, the PBT can be used by the officers to establish probable cause to make an arrest. This test should always be refused if the driver has had anything to drink. Once an arrest is made, the driver is required to submit to one of the officer's suggested alcohol concentration tests or risk a mandatory license suspension. Once placed under arrest, the officer can require an alcohol concentration test of the driver's blood, breath or urine or a combination of any three. If the driver refuses to submit to the requested test or tests, the officer will cite the driver with a refusal, which results in a suspension of the driver's operator's license even if you are not found guilty of the DUI/OVI. Certainly the best way to assure you are not charged with a DUI/OVI is to refrain from drinking and then driving an automobile. The above is offered, however, to assist anyone who finds themselves in a situation where they may face a DUI/OVI charge.

    1. Blankenship Massey & Steelman: CRIMINAL Criminal cases are when persons are charged with a crime by the state in which the person(s) reside. There are misdemeanor cases and felony cases. Misdemeanor cases have a potential sentence of a year or less in jail. Felony cases are charges that carry a sentence of more than a year in jail. To be convicted of a misdemeanors or felony, the state must prove a defendant guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Being charged with a crime is a serious matter. It can affect your personal and public rights. IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO BE REPRESENTED BY A LAWYER! If charged with a crime it is not advisable to make any statement to law enforcement unless your attorney is present. Anything said may be used against you. You have NO obligation to be cooperative or to give a statement. If you are charged with a crime, your first court appearance is called an arraignment. You will be told with what crime you are being charged. IF YOU HAVE NOT SPOKEN WITH A LAWYER, IT IS ALWAYS BEST TO ENTER A PLEA OF NOT GUILTY. If you can not afford an attorney, you may ask the state to provide one. If you post a bond or if someone else posts a bond for you, it may prohibit you from getting a court appointed lawyer. After arraignment there are several hearings before a case is concluded by plea agreement, Court trial or Jury trial. If a person chooses to represent himself, they will be held to the same standards as a lawyer.
    2. Frank Mungo: For a DUI conviction in Kentucky, the penalties include a three-day incarceration, community service, and/or traffic school.
    3. Erlanger: Ruey Newsom: In Kentucky there is no right to have an attorney present prior to taking either field sobriety test or any type of blood alcohol tests. While there is a 5th Amendment right under the Constitution against self-incrimination, field sobriety tests and blood/alcohol tests do not fall within the meaning of self-incrimination. These tests have been adjudicated to be a search rather than self-incrimination. However, when a person under arrest asks to speak to an attorney, further questioning by the police officer is prohibited and as such all statements made by the individual under arrest may not be used.
    4. Erlanger: Marcus Carey: An experienced drunk driving defense lawyer can make the difference between time in jail or no time, and between driving to work of calling a cab. Does experience and reputation make a difference? Yes it does.

    2. David Higdon:   A person commits the offense of witness tampering if he or she offers, confers, or agrees to confer any benefit on a witness or a prospective witness in a judicial or an administrative proceeding. A person also commits the offense of witness tampering if he or she coerces a witness or a prospective witness in a judicial or an administrative proceeding with the intent to influence to the witness to testify falsely, to withhold his or her testimony, to absent himself or herself from the proceeding, or to discontinue or to delay the proceeding.

  18. Jackson-Stidham, Michael: DUI/DWI: What is it? DUI, DWI, OUI and OUIL are all terms for driving drunk (drunk driving) at or above a certain level of alcohol. Well over a million drivers (1.5) are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs in the United States every year. Even though all states have lowered blood alcohol levels to .08, every state has its own laws and consequences for driving under the influence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), operating under the influence (OUI) or operating under the influence of liquor (OUIL). In addition to drunk driving being a criminal matter (court matter and a crime) it is also an administrative matter pertaining to the drivers license (immediate, mandatory and automatic license suspension). Immediate driver license suspension laws for alcohol-impaired drivers, refers to administrative per se (APS), automatic license revocation (ARL) or on-the-spot license suspension laws. These laws are different for each state and each one has it own automatic license suspension consequences. License suspension or revocation traditionally follows conviction for alcohol-impaired driving. Under a procedure called administrative license suspension, licenses are taken before conviction when a driver fails or refuses to take a chemical test. Because administrative license suspension laws are independent of criminal procedures and are invoked right after arrest, they`ve been found to be more effective than traditional post-conviction sanctions. Forty-one states and the District of Columbia have administrative license suspension laws. Thirty-seven states permit some offenders to drive only if their vehicles have been equipped with ignition interlocks. These devices analyze a driver`s breath and disable the ignition if the driver has been drinking. In 22 states, multiple offenders may forfeit vehicles that are driven while impaired by alcohol.

  20. Jeffersonville-Patrick Renn: DUI as defined by the Kentucky Department of Transportation: "DWI/DUI is an abbreviation of driving while under the influence of intoxicants (alcohol) or of any substance or substances which impair driving ability. Other substances can include illegal drugs, prescription drugs, inhalants such as glue, gasoline, spray paint etc., and/or over the counter medications. KentuckyÕs DUI law has an "Illegal Per Se" provision. "Illegal Per Se" (On the face of or by itself) means it is illegal to drive with a blood or breath alcohol content of 0.08 or higher. Prosecutors no longer have to prove defendants were impaired if they are being tried for the per se clause of K.R.S. 189A.010. Requires that test be given within 2 hours of operation of motor vehicle for results to be admitted into evidence in per se DUI prosecutions."

  34. Prestonsburg
    1. Pillersdorf, DeRossett and Lane: Being charged with a crime, no matter how serious the offense, can forever affect the accused's life. The criminal process is quite complicated, so when a person is faced with criminal charges, trying to understand what to expect can feel overwhelming. It is very important for people who have been recently arrested to talk to a criminal defense attorney as soon as possible. The most urgent priority is often getting a lawyer to help arrange release and provide some information about what's to come in the days ahead. Criminal defense lawyers do much more than the average person realizes. While they argue fiercely for their clients in the courtroom, it is the services outside of the courtroom that people charged with crimes immediately require.

  36. Salyersville-William Arnett: People sometimes feel shy about discussing legal problems and other personal matters. In these situations, it's comforting to know the law protects your confidential discussion with your lawyer. The law says your lawyer must keep your secrets secret, and cannot discuss them with anyone-including a court or government agency-unless you say otherwise. This is the attorney-client privilege.
  37. Shepardsville
    1. Wantland Law: A test that indicates a high blood alcohol content (BAC) does not automatically convict you of drunk driving. The accuracy of your breath test, the interpretation of your blood test, and the field sobriety test will contribute to the legality of a DUI.

You are entitled to equal protection under the law, the right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, the right to due process of law, to have notice of the charges against you, the right to not incriminate yourself and to call witnesses on your behalf, the right to a speedy and public trial including a trial by a jury of your peers. You have the right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment or excessive fines or bail. You have the right against double jeopardy which is being tried twice for the same offense. You also have the right to an attorney. It is important that you have a criminal defense attorney on your side to protect your Constitutional Rights.
  39. Winchester-Dykeman & Rosenthal: More than likely you, someone in your family, a friend or an acquaintance, has gotten a DUI/DWI. If this is the case please read on. Of course, if this isn't the case and you or someone you know hasn't gotten a DUI, you may still find this information interesting. A DUI conviction can have serious implications - loss of license, loss of job, family and relationship consequences, heavy fines, higher insurance premiums and possible jail time to mention a few. No doubt, if you have been charged with a DUI you know this or you wouldn't be searching for an attorney. Wise decision. Image This may be your first DUI, a second, or more than you care to think about. In Kentucky, the penalties for DUI increase with each subsequent conviction until finally it becomes a felony. At this point you are facing time in the penitentiary (more than one year in jail). When the arresting police officer pulled you over, you may have thought you were okay to drive, but a .08 blood alcohol reading on a breath test is all it takes for a DUI conviction in Kentucky. A few beers, a few drinks, and here you are. The problem is the majority of people have no idea how many drinks they can consume and still be "under the legal limit." In fact, no one really knows because it is different for everyone and can even change for the same person for a variety of reasons. You might have thought as you left the restaurant or bar, home, a friends house or wherever, that you were fine, only to find yourself taking a field sobriety test or sitting in jail. You thought you were driving normally, only to have an officer stop you for weaving on the road, a broken tail light, brake light, or not giving a turn signal. Once again, one thing leads to another and here you are. Image You need a DUI attorney because often officers are wrong and DUI attorneys can help discover information to prove it. You may be innocent. If the proper procedures were not followed by the arresting officers, the incriminating evidence which was collected might be suppressed. In addition, field sobriety tests are not always as reliable as they are often made out to be. Maybe you had a leg injury, eye problems, medical issues, prescription medications, or other legitimate reasons for the officer to assume you were intoxicated.
  40. Whitley City: Marcus Vanover: MPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ANYONE CHARGED WITH A D.U.I.: You should be aware that a D.U.I. conviction may result in harsher penalties if you are charged with another D.U.I. offense within five (5) years. Additionally, D.U.I. offenses result in mandatory license suspensions, and the length of these suspensions increase with additional offenses. There are also harsher penalties if you are charged with operating a motor vehicle while your license is suspended for D.U.I. If you are charged with a D.U.I., you do have certain rights that are guaranteed to all criminal defendants, including the right to remain silent, the right to a trial, the right to have your guilt proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and the right to appeal your case to a higher court if you are convicted. There are other rights that you have if you are charged of which you should be aware. Kentucky has recently enacted statutes making defenses to D.U.I. cases much more difficult. Nevertheless, defenses do exist. An attorney may know of legal defenses of which you are not aware that may be able to assist you in the event you are charged. I urge you to speak with an attorney to insure your rights are protected, even if it is not this office.
