We Help You Find a DUI Lawyer

We are here to help you find a DUI Lawyer or Drunk Driving Defense Attorney who will represent you for Driving Under the Influence or Driving While Intoxicated. Before you make a serious error, you should get a DUI Lawyer who can help you find your way safely through a confusing legal process.

We put you in touch with DUI Lawyers, DWI Lawyers, DWI Attorneys, DUI Attorneys and Drunk Driving Defense Attorneys who offer free initial consultations, and many of them offer payment plans for your convenience.

While we encourage you to read and understand the laws pertaining to any charges you may receive, we realize they can be difficult to understand and complicated to deal with. It is important that you be able to participate fully with your attorney in presenting your case. YOU DO NOT NEED TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ABOUT THE LAWS. That is why you should have a DUI Attorney who is familiar with the laws in your jurisdiction and can help you fight for your license and help minimize the penalties and consequences of your DUI.

Reasons You Can Be Stopped: The standard for a traffic stop is lower, and is known as reasonable suspicion/reasonable cause. In order to make a lawful traffic stop, an officer must be able to articulate why they suspect a criminal act may have occurred (i.e. erratic driving, high speed, matching vehicle or driver description to another crime, or some other indication that a law is being violated). In other words, an officer needs a reason to make a traffic stop and cannot stop someone simply on a whim.

There are a number of steps law enforcement can take to determine if a driver is intoxicated beyond the legal limit. Most officers will look for general signs that alcohol or drug use has occurred, including slurred speech, bloodshot eyes, disheveled appearance, alcohol on the breath, an open container of alcohol, drug paraphernalia, and loud behavior.

Usually officers will almost always require suspected drivers to perform Standard Field Sobriety Tests, which challenge the driver's mind-body coordination. After the driver has performed those tests, law enforcement will typically test the driver's breath to get a more accurate reading of the amount of alcohol or drugs in the body. Because driving under the influence increases the chances of causing a death, an accident or injury, judges and prosecutors seek harsh punishments for DUI offenders.

Individuals convicted of DUI face multiple legal penalties including monetary fines, probation, jail, rehabilitation, alcohol counseling, community service, and/or an additional form of financial responsibility called an SR-22. Also, you will have a permanent criminal record for the rest of your life. A DUI conviction often results in higher insurance premiums for years to come. In some states, if you are not a U.S. citizen, a DUI conviction can result in deportation.

With a criminal record, consequences can be far-reaching. You may not be able to get the job you want. You won't qualify for a commercial driver's license. Let's take worst-case scenario: you are in college; you get convicted and spend time in jail, and thereby must drop out. You don't graduate. You don't get that MBA you wanted. You don't get the job of your dreams, can't afford the nicer home you would have liked, and 20 years from now, you won't be able to afford to send your own children to a good college.

Or how about this: you're convicted of a DUI. Your current boss can't give you a promotion, or perhaps even must let you go depending on company policy. You find it difficult to find another job right away. You fall behind in your rent, mortgage payments, car payments, whatever, and soon you find yourself living a much lower standard of life with seemingly no way to reclimb that ladder.

If this is your second offense or more (under 0.2%), you could face mandatory jail time. Even if this is your first offense, if you are convicted of a DUI with 0.2% or higher, mandatory jail time may be your fate, depending on the laws in your state.

ZERO Tolerance All states have zero tolerance laws that target drivers under the legal drinking age. These laws penalize persons under 21 for operating a vehicle with any trace of alcohol in their systems, with a BAC above 0.0% or with negligible BAC levels such as 0.01% or 0.02%. You may be charged with U.D.D. or Underage Drunk Driving.

Enhanced Penalty BAC Many states impose harsher punishments or penalties on DUI offenders with particularly high BAC at the time of the offense, typically .15% to 0.20%. DUI offenders with a BAC at or above their state's Enhanced Penalty Standards could face additional jail time, harsher fines, and more severe driver's license sanctions.

If challenged, the DA also has to show that the arresting officer made the arrest properly, that you were properly advised of your rights, that the equipment he used to test you was working accurately, and even that the person operating that equipment was certified to operate it. If he gets information which may prove you innocent, an attorney can make him give you that information also.

We are here to help you fight for your driver's license by putting you in touch with a DUI Attorney or DWI Attorney who is familiar with the laws in your jurisdiction.
