What is DUI?

“Driving under the influence” (DUI) is sometimes called "drunk driving" or driving while intoxicated (DWI) and has two meanings:

First, you may receive a DWI or DUI for driving when your mental and/or physical capabilities are adversely affected by drugs, alcohol, or a combination of alcohol and drugs.  Indeed, according to the law, it makes absolutely no difference whether the drug is legal or illegal, prescription or over-the-counter.  If drinking alcohol and/or taking drugs adversely affects your reaction time, sight, hearing, ability to judge distances, or any other mental or physical abilities used in driving, you may be found guilty of a drunk driving offense.

Second, you can get arrested for "driving under the influence" (DUI) when you drive a vehicle with a blood alcohol level over the state’s maximum permissible blood alcohol limit.  It is interesting to note that as of May, 2007, the limit for adults is 0.08% in all 50 U.S. states.

Why Do I Need a DUI Attorney?

DUI lawyers are trained in a specialized area of the law known as DUI criminal law.  DUI attorneys have access to research data, information, and legal techniques that other lawyers in different areas of specialization may be unaware.  DUI attorneys understand "the system" and provide you with a better chance to retain your freedom than you would have by representing yourself OR by hiring an attorney who is not knowledgeable about DUI law.

Having a DUI defense lawyer can make the experience far less stressful.  A reputable DUI attorney can answer your questions, prepare you for the proceedings each and every step of the way, and ensure that if there is a way to help you within the law, he or she will find this way.

During the course of a DUI investigation if there are irregularities or evidence that could cause the DUI charge to be thrown out of court, it is highly improbable that the court system, the police, or the prosecution will be greatly "motivated" to inform you of these irregularities.

Indeed, in many cases, you may never realize that an “irregularity” ever happened.  A DUI attorney, it can be noted, may be able to find such “irregularities” and bring this evidence to the attention of the prosecution and the court.  And at times and based on this “evidence,” your DUI lawyer may be able to get your charges considerably reduced or dismissed.
