    2. 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.

    1. 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.

    2. 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 ÒnoÓ. 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.
  14. Sandy
    1. 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.
    2. 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.
    3. Craig Bainum: Have you been charged with a DUI / DWI and need a drunk driving attorney? Are you facing DUI / DWI charges and don’t know where to turn? Do you need a DWI / DUI lawyer to effectively represent your rights?
    4. 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.

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.
