Covington DWI Lawyers

1. Fox & Scott: It is almost always a mistake to accept a DUI or OVI arrest and conviction without putting up a fight. The penalties Ñ even for a first-time drunk-driving offense Ñ are too serious. Even if you don't face any jail time, the DUI or OVI conviction will result in a driver's license suspension and a criminal record, as well as significant court costs and fines.
2. Alerding, Dennis: Homicide and Assault Robbery and Theft Firearms violations Criminal sex offenses Drug charges White collar crimes Juvenile offenses DUI and traffic violations
3. Otis & Johnson: The reality is that these cases can frequently be beaten Ñ and that is important because the penalties can be stiff even for a first offense: Possibility of jail time Lengthy driver's license suspension Huge fines and fees Expensive and time-consuming alcohol counseling Increases in auto insurance rates Loss of Commercial Driver's License (CDL) Public embarrassment and humiliation Potential loss of employment The consequences of a DUI or OVI conviction can be life-changing. If you have been charged, find a DUI defense lawyer who will fight aggressively for your rights. Breathalyzer machines are not 100 percent reliable. Sometimes the machine malfunctions and produces inaccurate results. These machines require frequent maintenance and calibration to work properly. If a machine is not regularly maintained, the test results can be inaccurate. Did you know that the field sobriety tests administered by many police agencies should not even be given to obese people or people who suffer from leg or back problems? Many things can interfere with results of a Breathalyzer. False teeth, the presence of residual mouth alcohol, the presence of a foreign substance in the mouth like chewing tobacco or dip or even frequent inhalation of certain types of paint fumes have been proven to interfere with breath test results. Some of these factors can actually cause the results to be much higher than they should be. With the stakes of a drunk driving charge and conviction so high, you should be represented by an informed and aggressive DUI defense attorney who knows how to fight DUI prosecution.
4. Wenzel, Lisa: America's most common crime is a DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated). But did you know that "drinking and driving" is NOT a crime for adults? Actually only "impaired driving" or driving with an "unlawful blood alcohol level" in your blood, breath or urine is considered a criminal offense.
5. Roush & Stilz: The days when drunk driving seemed to be tolerated are gone. Now, a conviction for a DUI/DWI/OVI can bring a seemingly endless chain of consequences. Fines are automatic and can be high. In many circumstances, an automatic driver's license suspension and/or jail time can result. If a license suspension occurs, reinstatement fees apply. Additional penalties can also result from a refusal to allow blood and breath testing, and drunk driving charges are aggravated offenses, so that penalties increase with each additional offense.
6. Jackson, Christopher: There are serious consequences for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you face DUI or DWI charges in Kentucky or Ohio, you could be subject to significant fines, lose your license, and even face jail time. An aggressive attorney will seek to throw out fraudulent charges, reduce the charges against you, and mitigate the consequences.

8. Emerson Law Office: Kentucky DUI Aggressive Northern Kentucky DUI Defense Lawyer Enforcement of laws against DUI (driving under the influence) is more aggressive than ever, and Kentucky DUI penalties are severe. A first-offense conviction is punishable by 2 to 30 days in jail, a fine up to $500, driver's license suspension up to 120 days and more. Multiple offenses or aggravating factors, such as a BAC over .18 percent, children in the vehicle or a crash, are far more serious. Make no mistake: Any drunk driving or "drugged driving" charge is a big deal. However, television commercials and other media suggest there is really no defense. That part is just not true. The only way to know your options is to contact a DUI/DWI defense attorney who will rigorously investigate and assess your case.
9. Bouldin Law Firm: Remember, if you are charged with a crime, you have the right to have your attorney present at every proceeding and during any questioning by police or the prosecution. Don't risk facing a criminal charge alone.
10. Covington - Dickman Law Offices: A drunk driving (DUI / DWI) conviction carries serious criminal and civil penalties in Kentucky. You face driver’s license suspension, can be sentenced to significant jail time or lengthy probation, pay stiff fines, and be required to attend alcohol and drug treatment. You may have to have an interlock device installed in your car to prevent operating under the influence. Your insurance rates will almost certainly rise. If you refuse the breathalyzer, you will lose your license, even if you are ultimately found blameless. While there are other traffic violations that carry very serious consequences, such as reckless driving, fleeing an officer, and vehicular homicide, being convicted of DUI / DWI is usually the most serious criminal charge faced by otherwise law-abiding citizens. This is more serious than a traffic ticket.
11. Covington-O'Hara, Ruberg, Taylor, Sloan & Sergent: DWI / DUI / Drunk Driving / Driving Under the Influence

    Being charged with the offense of DWI / DUI or Driving Under the Influence is a serious legal matter.

    1. Until your case is finalized in court, you should not discuss your case with anyone other than your lawyer.
    2. If you are contacted by the police or anyone else, you should decline discussing the case without the presence of your lawyer.
    3. You should never attempt to contact witnesses who have been listed to testify against you. This can sometimes be misinterpreted as an effort to intimidate or influence such witnesses' testimony and can have disastrous consequences.
    4. If you believe that witnesses may actually be helpful to your case, make a note of the way in which you think they may help and tell your lawyer about it. This will protect you from any unfair claims with respect to such witnesses.
12. Jonathan Bruce: There are no minor criminal convictions. Prompt attention from an experienced criminal defense attorney can mean the difference between freedom and severe restrictions on driving privileges Ñ and even jail time. An experienced lawyer knows how to get and challenge police reports, negotiate bond reductions, arrange for alternatives to jail time, and negotiate reduction of penalties. There is no substitute for skilled legal representation after a DUI / DWI / OWI arrest. because Kentucky state legislators are making it more difficult for attorneys to defend clients, by attacking reliability of technology such as intoxilyzers, the defense attorney should know how to tackle cases from many angles. The preferred outcome in a DUI case naturally is case dismissed. A creative defense lawyer will examine every angle of an arrest in search of a strong defense when law enforcement officers did not follow proper procedures, or when a client's intoxication at the time of the traffic stop is truly in question.
