Drunk Driving
If you are suspected of driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you may be arrested for DUI (driving under the influence), also called DWI (driving while intoxicated). If you are stopped, be very polite and do not argue with the officer. If you are placed under arrest, you will be taken to the police station where you will be asked to submit to the blood-alcohol test. Whether or not to submit to a blood-alcohol test depends on various factors. For example, was there an accident? If so, was someone injured? Do you have a commercial driver's license? Are there any illegal substances in your system?
A DUI conviction has serious consequences but an experienced DUI attorney can work to get you the best possible result.
