An Arrest Is Not a Conviction DUI AND DUAC DEFENSE
An arrest for driving under the influence (DUI) or driving with an unlawful alcohol concentration (DUAC) can have a significant impact on your life even before you have the chance to defend yourself in court. If you’re arrested for either crime, your license may be suspended immediately. Without the ability to drive, daily activities like getting to work or picking up children can become extremely difficult. Because of the severity of action the state takes in these cases, too many people assume they cannot win, even if they are not guilty of wrongdoing. DUI and DUAC may be separate charges — DUAC requires a lower burden of proof than DUI — but they can both carry the same penalties. Neither charge can be expunged from your record, and the fines and/or jail time that can result are identical. In addition to these outcomes, convictions can lead to sky-high insurance premiums from SR-22 insurance and mandatory safety programs, which can run you over $500. Additionally, you may be mandated to install ignition interlock, a system which forces you to take a breathalyzer test before your car starts. Not only is this service monitored by the probation department, you also have to pay for it and ensure it is properly maintained. All of these conditions can result from a first offense, and they only escalate from there.
The most crucial aspect of protecting your rights after a DUI or DUAC arrest is to act quickly. These types of cases are complicated, and you can be convicted without a jury trial. Just because you blew .08 or higher does not mean you are automatically guilty. Sit down with the experienced attorneys at Holland & Usry to explore your options. A DUI or DUAC arrest can seem bleak, but don’t give up hope without consulting an attorney.
