- Newton. Steven: Facts About Field Sobriety Tests You can refuse to take a field sobriety test. You can refuse them without the consequence of losing your driver's license. Two examples of field sobriety tests: * The one-legged test. Officers have you stand on one leg and then ask you to perform tasks like touching your nose. * The eye test. Technically referred to as the HGN test, where an officer puts his finger in front of your eyes and moves it left to right to see how your eye reacts to the movement. * The nine step walk and turn. The office instructs you to stand in certain position, walk an imaginary or real line nine steps, turn around and walk nine steps back. If you failed a field sobriety test, do not worry. Please contact me today to discuss your unique situation. Facts About Blood/Breath Tests If you refuse to take a blood or breath test that is requested by a police officer, you could lose your driver's license for up to a year. A second refusal and further refusals could result in losing your license for substantial amounts of time or possibly permanently. Facts About DUI Charges With your first DUI charge, depending on your blood alcohol concentration (BAC), you could face a jail sentence. A second offense within 10 years of the first has a mandatory 10-day minimum jail sentence. A third offense within 10 years is a felony with a minimum mandatory jail sentence of over 60 days. Do Not Get Discouraged Facing possible jail time is scary. Do not get discouraged.

- Labaron & Jensen: SHOULD I TALK TO THE POLICE? Police officers are like anyone else. They have a job to do. Obviously, you may be a witness to an accident or the victim of a crime yourself. Under these circumstances, talk to the police. However, there is a time when the focus shifts to you as a possible suspect. This is not a good time to talk to the police. When an officer starts asking you questions that put you at the center of an investigation they are not usually looking to prove your innocence. They are looking to prove you guilty. Many clients have found themselves behind bars because they assumed incorrectly that the officer would leave them alone if they told the officer what the officer wanted to hear. This may be true at times, but too often it leads to more questions and inconsistencies that are real or perceived. A police officer is like an older miner who is looking for reasons why the rock is gold. Likewise, the officer is looking for reasons why you are guilty. Too many times, the truth and innocence is either twisted or ignored. Several right answers do not make up for the wrong answer. You may be arrested, but if you donÕt speak they canÕt hold what you didnÕt say against you. Very little good ever comes from speaking to the police when you are a possible suspect. Keep quiet. WHAT IF I AM INNOCENT? Most of the time, the police are doing the best they can and are not trying to do anything wrong. That doesnÕt mean they donÕt get it wrong. Experience has taught us here at LeBaron & Jensen that innocent people really do get arrested. Innocent people really do get their words twisted around and their actions misperceived. You may be able to trust an officer to be a good person, but you cannot always trust them to get it right. Be quiet. Seek legal help. With the careful guided help of legal counsel, mistakes and misperceptions can be avoided. If you are innocent, the truth is not a problem, but is best presented carefully and thoughtfully. The more the story is told the more it changes, even when it is true. Tell your story once, and tell it right and well. The littlest of details can be twisted and manipulated. DonÕt be victim of manipulation. As careful as justice tries to be, innocent people get convicted. We believe in our clients and their innocence. Not everyone will believe in your innocence. Let us safeguard you. SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL I AM ARRESTED? If you are being investigated for a crime, you should seek the advice of counsel. There are many things a skilled attorney can do for you prior to arrest that may help you avoid arrest or avoid conviction. Many times, law enforcement suspects that you are guilty and they are looking for you to give them the last piece of evidence they need. If you invoke the right to counsel, the police must stop asking questions and let you get counsel. Let counsel address these issues. Let counsel answer the questions. Let your attorney find out about your case for you. Law enforcement will use strong arm tactics. They can lie and tell you they know things they do not know. They will make a concerted effort to manipulate you into giving them what they want. You need an attorney between you and their tactics protecting you from pressure. If you are a suspect, get an attorney. DO THE POLICE MAKE MISTAKES? Police are like anyone else. They are not perfect and they make mistakes. Sometimes they simply get the wrong guy. Sometimes they are too quick to accuse. Often, they make mistakes and violate your rights. If the police get the wrong guy or simply accuse you too quickly, a good attorney can find the holes in the facts. You have to be proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and sometimes the facts just arenÕt there. The police rapped up there case too quickly and got the wrong person or there was no crime at all. This happens, and a good attorney can point that out. Sometimes, the police conduct their investigations wrong. They search your car without cause or consent. They forget to read you your rights. Many of these mistakes lead to key pieces of evidence being thrown out and your case along with it. Remember, police are not perfect. A good attorney will spot mistakes and can use them to their fullest advantage. Police do make mistakes. Most of the time, they are just mistakes. However, mistakes can help you or hurt you. An experienced attorney can spot mistakes and turn them to your advantage. HOW CAN A CONVICTION AFFECT ME? A criminal conviction can be a deal breaker. There are many people out there that have been convicted of a crime that cannot find work, lose their right to vote, their right to carry a gun, and other serious consequences. An experienced attorney can sometimes help you avoid conviction or at least minimize the damage. Understanding what certain convictions can do to you and how to avoid certain penalties is an essential part of a good criminal defense. ARE DUIÕS SERIOUS? DUIÕs are very serious. If you are convicted of a DUI, you lose your license, your insurance premiums go through the roof when you get your license back, and you pay heavy fines and face jail time. Along with all these penalties, you get the consequences of even stiffer penalties with each successive conviction. You need an experienced DUI attorney that can help you with the unique aspects of a DUI case. DUI cases are very different than many other criminal cases. There is a lot of science or lack of science involved in these cases. Many officers are not adequately trained to understand the science behind these cases and often make mistakes in pulling you over and testing you for impairment. More than many other types of criminal cases, DUI cases are full of opportunities for an experienced attorney to explore, but they have to know what they are looking for. At LeBaron & Jensen, we know what we are looking for. We have had several DUI cases and often find mistakes or problems with the case that we can work to our clientÕs advantage. We can help you with the unique aspects of a DUI case. WHY DO I NEED AN EXPERIENCED ATTORNEY? Unlike some areas of the law, criminal law is more than just about the law. It is about facts, seeing patterns, understanding the story, and being able to present these ideas to a judge and often to a jury. You see television shows about criminal law all the time, because they are interesting and the stories are compelling. Presentation is often the key to success on these shows. This is true in real life. The stories are compelling and interesting and presentation is critical. The practice of criminal law is an art.

- >Harold Stone: Being charged with a DUI in Utah carries tough penalties on an escalating scale that increases with each consecutive offenses in any given 10 year period. You can even be charged with DUI if the metabolite of an alcohol or drug is found in your system when exhibiting questionable ability to operate your vehicle. It is very common for those charged with DUI to lose their license if they do not quickly hire a knowledgeable defense attorney. The system is aggressive when pursuing and charging you with a DUI. An experienced criminal defense attorney who is ready to vigorously defend you against these charges is a necessity.
- Murray
- Law, Greg: A DUI arrest actually sets two separate cases in motion, one civil and one criminal. The driver's license hearing is a civil hearing that typically lasts 30 minutes or less and is often conducted by phone. This hearing is important to your defense because it gives you the first opportunity to question the arresting officer under oath. This will help us prepare more effectively for the criminal case and it will also "lock" the officer in to those prior statements given under oath. Is it possible to win at the driver's license hearing? Yes, but keep in mind that winning your civil hearing only means that you get to keep driving while the criminal case is still pending. If you are later convicted on DUI charges, you can still lose your license. In fact, if you are convicted of a first-time DUI, your driver's license will be suspended for 120 days. A second or subsequent conviction will result in a two year suspension.

What if you are a suspect in a crime and a police officer demands an interview? Do you know your rights? If you are charged with or under investigation for a crime, you need an experienced criminal defense advocate in your corner.

- Scribner & McCandless: No one ever expects to be charged with driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs (DUI). For most people, the arrest is a shattering experience. There are the flashing lights, and the officer at the car door. First come the questions and the field sobriety tests, then the handcuffs and the trip to the station for booking. These experiences are followed by more questions and warnings and finally by being asked to blow on an intoxilizer machine, or having your blood drawn. The final humiliations are either booking into jail to sleep it off and wait for court, or a call to friend or loved one to post bail. None of these are pleasant experiences. None of the people who are arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol intend to engage in conduct that will result in their arrest. Most don't realize that they have had enough to drink to put them over legal limits. Sometimes the difference between an arrest and being released without charges filed is what you had for lunch, and how much you weigh. If you have been arrested, what should you expect next? If you have been released on bail, you will be given a court date when you are required to appear for an arraignment. An arraignment is a hearing where you enter a guilty or not guilty plea. If you plead not guilty your case will be set for a pretrial conference where you or your attorney can meet with the prosecutor and discuss the case. If you plead guilty, the case will immediately proceed to sentencing unless you invoke your statutory right to have sentencing occur in a period between two and forty-five days after entry of plea. The consequences and penalties for driving under the influence of alcohol in Utah may include the following for a first conviction. You will be sentenced to 180 days in jail with all but two days suspended. You will be ordered to pay fines and fees totaling as much as $1850.00, plus court security fees. (Fines and fees actually imposed are usually somewhat lower but still substantial). You will face the loss of your driving privilege for 120 days. You will be ordered to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle. You will be forbidden to drive any vehicle that does not have an ignition interlock device on it. You will be required to have a substance abuse evaluation, and to follow through on any recommended treatment. You may be placed on probation with a private probation provider who will require you to pay for probation. You may be required to submit to random drug or alcohol tests. After regaining your driver's license you will be required to obtain expensive SR22 automobile insurance. How can a lawyer help? In a DUI case an experienced attorney can help in several ways. The attorney can appear with you at all court dates. The attorney can help you request a driver's license hearing to see if your driving privileges can be maintained. (This hearing must be requested within 10 days of your arrest.) The attorney will help you enter a not guilty plea, and will set your case for a pretrial. Counsel can file an "entry of appearance of counsel", and a "request for discovery" that will require the prosecutor to make all police reports and information on the case available to the defense. Your attorney can help you make decisions about what to do in the case. The attorney will evaluate the evidence and see whether there is a basis to claim that your arrest was illegal or improper. Counsel can negotiate with the prosecutor, and in many cases can negotiate amendment of the charges to offenses that do not have all of the consequences and penalties set forth above. Counsel can represent you at sentencing hearings and other hearings to make sure that the process is fair. Finally in appropriate cases, your attorney can help you take your case to trial where a judge or jury can decide guilt or innocence.

Utah DMV Hearings When you are arrested for DUI in Utah, you will be served with a Notice of Suspension by the officer who places you under arrest.

- Justice Law Firm: So YouÕve Been Accused of a CrimeÉ When you are accused of a crime, the allegations include a classification of the crime. In criminal law, there are two main classifications and several sub-classes. The two main classes are felony and misdemeanor. Felonies are more serious offenses according to the state whereas misdemeanors are less serious offenses. Generally speaking, felonies are crimes punishable by imprisonment of a year or more, while misdemeanors are crimes punishable by less than a year. How is My Criminal Case Going to Proceed? After your have been accused, you will usually be taken into custody although this is not always the case. After the case is brought to the state from the enforcement agency (police, etc.), a prosecutor, initiates the suit. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, given probation, made to take classes, given community service, etc. The range of punishment is wide. Once the case has been filed and you have been notified or taken into custody, you have your most important decision. Do I Really Need an Criminal Defense Attorney? The answer is ŅnoÓ. You can defend yourself. That is your right. If the crime is serious enough, most judges will insist that you either have an attorney or have the court appoint one. This is where you have to understand the basics of law practice. Have you ever looked in the engine of a car and thought that you understood the basics? Worse yet, have you looked in there and not been able to find the dipstick? Now pretend your car is broken and you need to read all the books to diagnose it, figure out how to fix the problem, purchase the tools to do the work, perform the labor, and then pray you got it right. That is how the law works. Whether you understand a lot or a little, doing it yourself will cost you more than hiring an attorney for your criminal law case almost every time. Getting a attorney appointed by the court is ok. You will get attorneys with more experience that any other, but you will also get the attorney that has a case load of 200+ cases in many instances. If you can afford it, hire a law firm that can give your case personal attention. Either way, you want to make sure that your case gets individual attention and not just settled like all the others.

- Ayres Law Firm: Utah DUI law is changing every year. The legislature is continually moving to make DUI penalties stiffer and law enforcementÕs burden of proof lighter. 2005 is no exception! This year the Utah State legislature passed Utah Code 41-6a-524 which allows the prosecutor to use evidence of a refusal to submit to a drug or alcohol test as evidence against a person accused of DUI. Moreover, did you know that you could lose your drivers license for a drug possession charge, even if you are not in a vehicle and driving? These are further examples of the changes in the DUI and Drug laws in favor of convictions rather than justice. An experienced DUI attorney can help. The Role of Breathalyzer Tests in DUI/DWI Cases The Intoxilyzer is the name of the breathalyzer test machine that is used by police in Salt Lake City and throughout Utah. In theory, this breath test is designed to provide an accurate reading of blood alcohol content to determine if a driver is over the legal limit of .08. In reality, these tests are often flawed. Finding the Flaws in Breathalyzer Test Evidence At the Ayres Law Firm, our attorneys have experience in getting positive results by challenging all of the evidence involved in drunk driving cases. For a free consultation about DWI/DUI defense, call us today at (801) 255-5555 or send us an e-mail. Procedural Flaws Leading to Breathalyzer Test Mistakes Administering a breathalyzer test is not just a simple matter of having the driver blow. The cop is required to follow certain procedures. One of the steps that police often neglect to take is making certain that the driver's mouth is free of debris, such as food or anything else, and then waiting fifteen minutes before administering the test. Technical Flaws Leading to Breathalyzer Test Mistakes The breathalyzer is an interesting machine. Since it's too expensive to take blood from every person that police pull over for drunk driving, which would provide an accurate reading of blood alcohol level, the government has decided to use a machine that essentially makes an educated guess.
- DuBreuil, Steven: The state of Utah only accepts three field sobriety tests in evidence. * The horizontal gaze nystagmus: There are 38 different things that can cause the effect police are looking for in this test, including the measles. Police often fail to run enough trials to make the test anywhere near valid. I'll ask, where did the test take place? Was it at night, with lights in the defendant's eyes? That can invalidate test results. * The 9-step walk and turn: Keep your hands to your sides. Walk heel-to-toe for nine steps. Execute a turn and walk back. There are six aspects or "clues" that the officer is looking for, everything from too much space between heel and toe to raising your arms from your side. If you display just one of the six, you fail. Try it in high heels, when you are stiff from a long drive, or on a windy night and you are almost sure to fail. * The 1-legged stand: Many sober people cannot pass this test, especially if it is given on a highway or at night. Many conditions other than intoxication affect balance. You are not legally required to participate in field sobriety testing.
- Welker, Delbert: There is a stigma often attached to people who get arrested for drunk driving. The reality is though it happens to all types of people -- rich doctors, hard working construction workers, old men, young women, getting behind the wheel does not require any special qualification. For most people it was a mistake, and they understand this and learn from it. Unfortunately, the consequences of the DUI arrest are far reaching and even if someone has learned their lesson it does not necessarily mean it won't change their life in other ways. It is important if you have been arrested for a DUI offense that you contact an attorney who will make sure your future is protected. It is important to act fast In the small print on the DUI citation is a statement telling the cited party that they have 10 days to request a hearing or their license will be automatically suspended for 90 days. A lot of people miss this, and as a result they lose their privileges to drive -- even if they win their court case. This is why it is important if you have been arrested to contact our DUI lawyer immediately.
- Craig Bainum: Have you been charged with a DUI / DWI and need a drunk driving attorney? Are you facing DUI / DWI charges and donÕt know where to turn? Do you need a DWI / DUI lawyer to effectively represent your rights?
- Craig McArthur: If you have been cited for DUI/DWI, you should know that the law gives serious consequences upon conviction. And these punishments are even more severe for repeat offenders. A DUI sentence may require you to pay a substantial fine, serve some time in jail, or both. In addition to any fines or jail time, your drivers license may be suspended, even if it is your first offense. You will have to find alternate transportation and go through considerable effort to regain your driving privileges. To add insult to injury, many insurance companies will drop your motor vehicle coverage if you get a DUI. The companies that will insure you will only do so at a greatly increased premium. It is easy to see how important it is to protect your rights and to do that, you need a lawyer who will work to stop these consequences from becoming reality.

- Larsen, Larsen, Nash & Larsen: DUI There are two things we need to be concerned about in regards to a DUI: MAINTAINING YOUR DRIVERS LICENSE Within 10 days of your arrest for DUI, you must make a written request to the Drivers License Division for a hearing. WE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU! If you do not make this request in a timely fashion you will likely lose your drivers license. The length of suspension can be from 120 days to 2 years. WHAT TO EXPECT IN COURT Usually within 14 days of your arrest you must make an appearance in court. WE CAN DO THIS FOR YOU! From that point on, the court will schedule court dates at which you will appear with your attorney. DUI carries with it a minimum mandatory jail sentence of at least 2 days and possible more. It is sometimes possible to argue for and be given the opportunity to do community service in lieu of those days in jail.
- Frazier Law Firm: If you have been stopped and arrested for a drunk driving offense in the state of Utah, you are likely worried about losing your driver's license and driving privileges, forfeiting your vehicle and spending time in jail.

The sooner you speak to our firm, the more that can be done to protect your rights. Contact our firm toll free at 866-953-1226. The Breathalyzer Test and DUI Penalties The police in Salt Lake City and the state of Utah use Breathalyzer tests to determine the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level of a driver who has been arrested for a DUI and if it is over the legal limit of .08. Unfortunately, the machines that are used to conduct these tests are not always maintained or calibrated properly and their results may not be accurate. Examining the results of a Breathalyzer test is important and make sure that the machine is working properly and that the police followed proper procedures when administering the test. The penalties for drunk driving offenses can be significant and can have long term effects for those convicted. These penalties may include: * License suspension or revocation * Ignition interlock system in your vehicle * Fines * Permanent criminal record * Jail time For multiple DUI offenses in Utah, these penalties continue to increase with each consecutive conviction.
