Why You Need an Experienced DUI Lawyer
Impaired driving charges (DUI) can have life-altering consequences, including criminal records, license suspension, and significant fines. These charges may arise from alcohol consumption, cannabis, prescription medications, or a combination of substances.
Sometimes, innocent people are charged due to arrest errors. A skilled legal defense can mean the difference between conviction and a clean record.
Understanding Impaired Driving Charges
You may be charged with impaired driving if you have:
- 80mg or more BAC per 100ml of blood
- 5ng or more of THC per ml of blood
- 50mg alcohol + 2.5ng THC (combined)
- Any amount of illegal drugs in your system within two hours of driving
How a DUI Investigation Works
Police may stop your vehicle if they reasonably suspect impairment. They may request a roadside breathalyzer or saliva test based on signs such as:
- Slurred speech
- Mental confusion
- Red eyes
- Muscle tremors
- Irregular breathing
- Agitation
