Further Information-

A DUI is the crime of operating a motor vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The laws governing DUI offenses vary from state to state. In general, a person is considered impaired by alcohol when their blood alcohol content is at, or above .08 percent. For drivers under 21 years of age who are charged with a DUI, any alcohol content that is detected in a person''s system constitutes a DUI offense under zero tolerance laws. 


 The laws and procedures in a DUI case can be complex and confusing; it is important to secure legal counsel immediately. There are several circumstances under which DUI penalties can be enhanced or reduced depending on case circumstances.
Factors that will be considered;

  • Prior DUI convictions
  • Excessive Speeding
  • The involvement of children in the incident.
  • A High Blood Alcohol Level.
  • Were injuries sustained?

A DUI stays on your criminal record permanently and on motor vehicle records for years. This can negatively affect future opportunities for those charged with a DUI.
