Have You Been Arrested for Drunk Driving?
A DUI (DWI) conviction for a first offense will result in loss of your driver's license for a minimum of seven months. A second drunk driving conviction carries a 2 year loss of driving privileges, community service, and a minimum 2 to 90 day jail sentence. A third offense carries a 10 year loss of driving privileges and a mandatory 6 months in jail. Depending on the circumstances, an ignition interlock device will be ordered by the court. The penalties are enhanced if the offense occurred in a school zone. At Kelly & Nolan, our attorneys are former prosecutors and know how the prosecution operates in drunk driving cases. We will meticulously review the evidence to identify technical and constitutional weaknesses in their case. We also have expert witnesses at our disposal who help us build convincing cases for our clients.
Was the Alcotest Valid?
Our attorneys are adept at finding holes in the prosecution's case that get charges reduced or dropped altogether. In regard to breathalyzer test evidence we ask three important questions:
- Was the machine properly calibrated?
- Was the operator of the machine qualified?
- Was the test administered properly?
If the answer to any of these questions is "no," then the case should be dismissed. We will also challenge police stops, checkpoints, field sobriety tests and other elements of police procedure to pursue the best results for you.
