• David DenHartigh: Arrestees should find and call a good DUII lawyer immediately! Don't wait until the first court appearance! Oregon allows an arrestee a reasonable opportunity to call a lawyer for advice BEFORE submitting to the breath test. If a chemical test of breath, blood or urine is refused or yields a result of .08% or more, it is essential to submit a written demand for a DMV hearing within 10 days of the arrest or the arrestee's drivers license will be suspended. The arrestee can submit the written request for a hearing but it's best to get a lawyer immediately to represent the arrestee at the DMV hearing because it is the only opportunity for a lawyer to challenge the suspension, investigate the State's case and lock down the cop's testimony under oath.
• Gunn & Gunn: In the State of Oregon, if you are arrested for Driving Under the Influence, you may loose your license. If after an arrest for Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants, you either (1) took a breath test and failed (.08 or greater), or (2) you refused to take a breath test after being offered the opportunity to take a breath test, your license will be suspended for between 90 days and 3 years. In order to preserve your rights to a hearing before the Department of Motor Vehicles suspends your license, you must request a hearing within 10 days of the date of your arrest. If you do not request a hearing, you will forever forfeit your rights to a hearing, and the Department of Motor Vehicles will enter a suspension of your license. If you have been arrested for D.U.I.I. you should seek the advice of an experienced D.U.I.I. attorney immediately.
• Pierson, Lamont & Carlson: Although you may believe that a D.U.I.I. is a simple criminal charge, a DUII is actually a very complex problem in both criminal and administrative law. Two separate cases are usually started against you when you are cited for a DUII. The first is the criminal case and the first appearance date is listed on your citation. That's when you first have to show up in court. The second case involves the DMV. Most people receive a DUII because they failed an Intoxilyzer test (the breathalizer). This failure, or a refusal to take the test, will result in DMV suspending your license.
