Have you - or a loved one - been arrested for Driving Under the Influence (DUI)?
If so, you will need to retain an lawyer experienced in the defense of DUI case. Attorney Michael Ross has handled hundreds of DUI cases.
Please note that most DUI arrests result in the filing of not just one, but TWO sepsarate cases against you:
1.) A Criminal Complaint filed by the District Attorney in Superior Court alleging that your driving was unsafe as a result of your drinking, and/or that your blood alcohol at the time of your driving was 0.08% or greater, AND
2.) A civil action (Administrative Per Se Petition) from the DMV to suspend your drivers license if your blood alcohol at the time of driving was 0.08% or greater, or that you unlawfully refused to take a chemical test of your blood.
SPECIAL WARNING: Either you or your attorney must contact DMV within TEN (10) ACTUAL DAYS to obtain a hearing date to contest your license suspension, or else you have waived this right - TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE.
CONSEQUENCES OF CONVICTION OF A DUI AND/OR DRIVER LICENSE SUSPENSION:
The maximum jail sentence for a first-time DUI is six months county jail. A person charged with a DUI alleging prior convictions can result in a greater jail sentence, or even state prison incarceration. There is a drinking driver course of up to eighteen (18) months that may be ordered by the Court. A fine will be imposed. Probation is a minimum of three (3) years. In short, the penalties for a conviction for DUI can be catastrophic.
