2. Elling & Elling: DUI/DWI/Drunk Driving Charges If you have been charged with DUI or DWI, then you face the potential for a suspended license, heavy fines, mandatory counseling and educational programs, jeopardizing your insurance coverage and/or the potential for jail time.

3. Gwyn Hoerauf: Of all of the field sobriety tests used by police officers to determine a driver's level of intoxication in DUI arrests, the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (HGN) test is the most popular among law enforcement officers for effectively determining evidence of a driver's blood-alcohol concentration (BAC). HGN is an involuntary jerking of the eye that occurs naturally as the eyes gaze to the side. During the HGN test, officers instruct DUI suspects to follow a stimulus (usually a penlight) with their eyes, estimating the driver's BAC level based in part on the angle of gaze at which jerking is first observed in each eye. Despite its proven accuracy, the admissibility of the HGN test in court is the most heavily scrutinized of all field sobriety tests. Specifically, some courts characterize the HGN test as a scientific test, requiring prosecutors to lay the foundation for the admission of HGN evidence via expert testimony.
4. Lawrence Robinson: Criminal charges may include such matters involving serious traffic offenses, including DUI/DWI violations.  Any criminal DUI/DWI case can lead to serious consequences.  For example, there is always the very strong possibility of a substantial fine being imposed in addition to a sentence of a time in jail.  A serious traffic offense may result in the revocation of your driver's license, making everyday transportation difficult.  The premium for your automobile insurance will probably increase dramatically.  A conviction for some DUI/DWI crimes can result in the loss orsuspension of your commercial driving license, making it difficult for you to earn a living in your usual way.  There are certain requirements that the State has to prove in a serious traffic case for you to be convicted.  There are also different steps that you have to take in order get the best results possible.  You need a strong advocate to help you stand up for your rights.
