15. Snyder, Jerry: Urgent! If you have been arrested for Nebraska DUI, you have only ten (10) days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing with the Nebraska DMV, or your license will be automatically suspended. Nebraska DUI laws provide for two separate cases when someone is arrested for DUI in Nebraska. The first case is an Administrative License Revocation Hearing (also called an ALR Hearing). Under Nebraska DUI law, an ALR Hearing is a civil hearing where the state is trying to suspend your driving privileges for a period of time. The second case is the Nebraska DUI criminal court case. Here, the state is trying to convict your of drunk driving, and require you to do time in jail, pay fines, attend alcohol education courses, have an ignition interlock installed in your car, and much more. Nebraska DUI laws also allow for conviction where there is a violation of Nebraska’s “per se” DUI laws. These Nebraska DUI laws criminalize driving above Nebraska’s legal limit of .08% BAC. Nebraska DUI prosecutions on the per se laws have nothing to do with impairment of the driver; they are based purely on body chemistry, meaning that one can be convicted of a Nebraska DUI even if that person’s driving skills are unaffected by the consumption of alcohol.
16. Sipp, Brian: United States constitution guarantees everybody a fair trial, and assumes all accused persons innocent until proven guilty. If you are facing criminal charges, you need a criminal defense lawyer.
17. John Lefler: DWI - DWI arrests can lead to criminal penalties, administrative license suspensions, auto insurance policy cancellations or significant premium increases, loss of employment and other consequences. If arrested, contact an attorney immediately.
18. Witte, Glen: Arrested for Drunk Driving in Nebraska? The DUI laws in Nebraska are tougher than ever, with possible jail time and lengthy license revocation, plus fines, higher insurance and a misdemeanor or felony record. But you are not convicted yet. You have rights and real defenses. If you are pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving, you should not answer questions or agree to perform roadside "tests." These can only harm you and never help you. Assert your right to remain silent and demand to talk to your attorney.
19. Hoppe, James: DUI Cases involving driving under the influence are known by many different names, but all of them require the services of a skilled criminal defense lawyer, no matter whether your jurisdiction calls drunk driving DUI (driving under the influence), DWI (driving while impaired or intoxicated), OUI (operating under the influence), DUII (driving under the influence of intoxicants), OUIL (operating under the influence of liquor), DWAI (driving while abilities are impaired), OMVI (operating a motor vehicle while impaired), or even “wet reckless” (alcohol related reckless driving). If you’ve been arrested for any of these crimes, the potential consequences are serious, but help is just a phone call or click away.
20. Catlett, Matt: thoroughly investigate the facts, evidence and circumstances surrounding your arrest, making certain that the police had probable cause to make the traffic stop and that you were properly advised of your rights before you made any statements to the police
21. Recknor, Wertz & Associates: * Drunk driving (also called DUI or DWI) * Drug crimes, including narcotics distribution * Theft * Sexual assault * Assault and battery
22. Berry Law Firm: examine the following issues in every DUI case: * Did the arresting officer have a reasonable suspicion for pulling your vehicle over in the first place? * Did the officer conduct a field sobriety test or preliminary breath test properly? * Was there probable cause to arrest you for DUI? * Was the breath or blood test to determine your blood alcohol concentration correctly administered at the station? * Were their problems with the operator's certification or the machine's maintenance? * Are their any medical, health or dietary explanations for a high blood alcohol reading? Satisfactory answers to any of these questions can lead to dismissal of the charges, acquittal at trial, or the difference between a misdemeanor and felony drunk driving conviction.
23. Reiman Law Firm: all types of criminal charges, however, our focus is on crimes such as murder, manslaughter and negligent homicide; sex crimes, such as rape, sexual assault, child pornography and indecent exposure; and white collar crimes, including fraud, embezzlement and forgery

You likely have many questions: What are the penalties I face? What is the worst that can happen? How will a charge or conviction affect my job or schooling? What if the police did something wrong? How do I fight this?
26. Beckman Law Offices: If you have been charged with drunk driving or a traffic offense, you should take the charges seriously. They could have long-term effects far beyond what the Court hands down as an initial punishment.
27. Moore, Harry: DUI/Driving Under the Influence: "DUI" stands for Driving under the Influence and occurs when someone is operating, or is in actual physical control, of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substance to the extent that their mental faculties are impaired and/or their blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit. Even for a first offense, penalties can include license suspension, substantial fines, community service, mandatory attendance at a state or DMV approved alcohol program, mandatory overnight incarceration and the required installation (at the offender's expense) of a car ignition locking device. In addition, a DUI conviction stays on a DMV record for several years, it typically results in higher insurance premiums, and an offender may become ineligible for credit. Plus, a DUI could also jeopardize your employment opportunities. However, if someone was injured as a result of the drunken driving accident, it is possible the defendant will be charged with a felony (and if the victim dies, the driver may be charged with vehicular manslaughter). Further, a DUI conviction will likely be raised to a felony if it is the driver's fourth DUI offense or the driver has had a prior felony DUI offense within 10 years of the new charge.
28. Naylor Law Office: You must act quickly to take steps to maintain your driving privileges.
29. Goltz, Jeffrey: A police officer may try to make contact with you under one of the following circumstances: They’re attempting to conduct a traffic stop, if you happen to be riding a bike or driving a car. They believe you may be a witness, victim, or perpetrator of a crime. They’re just really friendly and want to say hello. In the first two cases, the officer may detain you for a finite period of time while conducting a traffic stop or other investigation. During this time, you are legally obligated to comply with any direct lawful orders the officer may give. In the third situation, the encounter is considered a consensual encounter, during which you may leave at any time. Asking the officer, “am I free to leave?” is a good way to tell if you are being detained or not. Traffic stops. During a traffic stop, an officer will use a patrol car or motorcycle to pull over a citizen’s vehicle. The officer will make known his or her intent to pull over the driver by pulling behind the driver’s car and displaying red and/or blue lights. The officer may also get the driver’s attention by signaling with the patrol car’s siren. When this occurs, one should follow this procedure to avoid any legal issues or misunderstandings: Signal your intent to cooperate by turning on your vehicle’s hazard lights and reducing speed. Pull to the right slowly if it is safe to do so, and stop on the side of the road. If pulling over would block traffic, then pull off on the nearest side street or freeway exit. When stopped, turn off your engine. If it is dark outside, turn on your vehicle’s interior lights. Keep your hands on the steering wheel and avoid making any sudden movements or reaching for anything. Comply with the officer’s orders. Responding politely and affirmatively with “yes officer” can make the difference between receiving a warning or getting a hefty traffic fine. If you receive a ticket or court summons, SIGN IT! Signing a ticket does not imply guilt—but failure to do so will get you arrested. Searches. During traffic stops and calls for service, police officers will often ask for permission to search you, your car, or your home. The reason they ask is that without probable cause to search, they cannot unless they get verbal or written permission. An officer may “pat down” a person being detained in order to check for weapons. This is known as a “Terry frisk.” However, unless the officer has permission from the person being detained, has probable cause that person being searched is in possession of illegal items, or is arresting the person, the officer may not search him or her. An officer may conduct a plain-view search of a vehicle while conducting a traffic stop. However, unless the car must be towed, or unless the officer has probable cause to believe that illegal items are in the car, or has permission from the driver, the vehicle may not be searched. An officer may not enter a person’s home or search it unless the officer has probable cause that a crime is in progress or if he or she has permission to enter. Otherwise, an officer may not enter a person’s home without a search warrant. In each of these situations, one need not give consent to a search by saying “I do not consent to any searches.” Failure to provide consent does not provide cause for a search or arrest. In addition, consent may be revoked at any time after it is granted. If, for some reason you are placed under arrest, be sure to cooperate and do not resist. Any action you take or word you say may be documented and used in court. Your general demeanor during your arrest will also reflect how you are treated at the police station and in court. In addition, be sure to know your rights. Whether you are an adult citizen or non-citizen, you have certain rights if you are arrested. Before the law enforcement officer questions you, he or she should tell you that: 1. Anything you say may be used against you. 2. You have a right to have a lawyer present while you are questioned. 3. If you cannot afford a lawyer, one will be appointed for you. These are your “Miranda” rights, guaranteed by the United_States_Constitution. If you are not given these warnings, your lawyer can ask that any statements you made to the police not to be used against you in court. But this does not necessarily mean that your case will be dismissed. And this does not apply if you volunteer information without being questioned by the police. 0

32. Franklin Miner: You should consult an attorney for individual advice regarding your own situation.
33. Oursland Law Office: A DUI/DWI arrest is not something that should be taken lightly. Some Commonly Asked Questions About DUI/DWI What is the definition of DUI in Nebraska? In Nebraska, it is against the law to operate or be in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence of any alcoholic liquor or of any drug, or with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or more. Neb. Rev. Stat. 60-6,196. What is "Blood Alcohol Level"? The blood alcohol level, or BAC, is the percentage of alcohol detected in the blood. BAC is determined by either a blood test or a chemical breath test. Does a person have to do field sobriety tests if requested? No. There is no penalty for declining to perform standard field sobriety tests. What happens if I refuse to submit to a preliminary breath test? You will be arrested and taken to jail. You will be charged with refusal and fined $100. What should I do if I am stopped for DUI in Nebraska? Do not provide any information to the police other than your name, address, driver's license, and vehicle information. The police officer will ask you if you have been drinking. You do not have to answer this question. Politely but firmly decline to answer. Do not admit to anything. Anything you say to a police officer can and will be used against you in court. The best practice is to remain silent. Do not make the officer's job easier by admitting to drinking. Some people believe that if they tell the police that they only had "a couple" of beers that the police will let them go. The fact of the matter is that the police won't believe you if you tell them you only had a couple of beers. Do not perform field sobriety tests (FSTs). Standard FSTs in Nebraska are the one-leg stand, the walk-and-turn, the Romberg balance test, and the horizontal gaze nystagmus (HGN). You are not required under Nebraska law to perform any of these FSTs, and you cannot be arrested for refusing to do them. Again, simply tell the officer that you do not want to do the tests. In most cases, the officer will respect your request. Request independent sample of your breath or blood. You have the right in Nebraska to have an independent test done of your blood or breath. Ask to speak to an attorney immediately. Always ask to speak to an attorney. Your request will probably be denied, but asking for one puts the police on notice that you are standing on your rights. Should you submit to a breath or blood test? If you are arrested for DUI, you will be asked to provide a sample of your blood or breath for testing. As a general rule, if it is your first DUI, you should submit to a test. Refusing to do so can have the same consequences as a DUI conviction, and it is easier to prove a refusal than it is to prove a DUI. In addition, if you refuse to submit to a test, the DMV will revoke your license for one year. If you have prior DUI convictions, or if you suspect that your blood alcohol content will be over .15, you may have nothing to lose by refusing to submit.
34. Laura Lowe: -Traffic violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction on DUI/DWI charges will result in fines and possibly land you in jail. In addition, your insurance company may increase your rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An experienced attorney can make all the difference in such a difficult case.
35. Jeff Schmidt: The stress and uncertainty of defending a criminal charge requires active and effective representation. There are few things more precious than your liberty and good name. Make sure they are protected to the fullest exent possible. If you do find yourself in the unfortunate situation of dealing with police, the courts, and prosecutors, going it alone can be a serious mistake.
