What Is DUI License Hearing

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:25:31+00:00It is no secret that being charged with a DUI is not a joke. After all, due to the fact that there are so many DUI accidents happening every day, law enforcement authorities are not very forgiving when it comes to dealing with DUI offenders. Among many penalties that come along with DUI charges, is a chance to lose your driving privileges. That is right – if you refused to submit yourself to a BAC (Blood Alcohol Concentration) test or perhaps failed it and your BAC was significantly above regulated standards, the arresting officer is going to take your driver’s license from you. Your driving privileges are going to be automatically suspended if you will not initiate an administrative DMV hearing within 10 days after you have received the notification of suspension. If you are going to lose the DMV hearing, your license is going to be suspended. If it is...

Finding The Right DUI Lawyer

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:25:44+00:00Being accused of driving under the influence of alcohol or any illegal substances is very serious for pretty much anyone. Even if it is your first time DUI offense and it is deemed as a Class B misdemeanor, you will still have to face some serious legal consequences. After all, you can easily lose your driving privileges (your license will be taken from you by the arresting officer on the scene) and have to pay expensive fines (thousands of dollars from your pocket). The judge may also find it necessary for you to attend mandatory alcohol or drug awareness classes (you will have to pay for those from your own pocket) or perform community service (meaning hundreds of hours of unpaid labor). Sure enough, most of us will do our best to avoid such harsh penalties. If that is the case, the best course of action would be to come...

What Are The DUI Infractions?

Kevin Spade2021-06-18T23:25:59+00:00DUI stands for driving under the influence of alcohol. However, it does not solely include driving under the influence of alcohol – illegal substances such as drugs may also intoxicate a person and have a huge influence on his driving. DUI and drunk driving is not necessarily the same thing. With that said, due to a significant rise in DUI accidents all over the nation, it is only natural that the law enforcement authorities tend to do their best in order to apprehend and punish offenders. So how does it work? It is fairly simple – if a person was pulled over at a DUI checkpoint, because law enforcement officers had reasons to believe that he or she was driving under the influence, that person will be asked to submit him or herself to field sobriety tests. However, this may not be enough, so the individual may be asked to...
