What Should I Do Immediately After a DUI Arrest?
Write down everything you remember: where you were stopped, what the officer said, whether there was video, what tests you took and what paperwork you received. Then speak with a defense lawyer quickly so DMV deadlines are not missed.
Will I Lose My License?
License consequences depend on the DMV process, BAC, refusal allegations, prior history, age, probation status and court outcome. The DMV case is separate from criminal court, so both must be reviewed.
Can a DUI Be Reduced?
Sometimes. Reductions may be possible when the evidence has problems, the BAC is borderline, driving is weak, testing is questionable or mitigation supports a better resolution. Every case must be evaluated on its own facts.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to go to court?
In many misdemeanor DUI matters, an attorney may be able to appear for you. Whether that applies depends on the charge, court and facts of the case.
Can a DUI charge be reduced?
Many cases are resolved through negotiation, but the result depends on the evidence, prior history, court and prosecutor. The goal is to find weaknesses and push for the best available outcome.
What should I do first?
Speak with a defense attorney quickly, especially if your license may be at risk. DMV deadlines can arrive before the first court date.
