Driving, Tickets, and Impaired Driving
|
Without any
intent to commit a crime, you
may suddenly find yourself with
a traffic ticket. If charged
with impaired driving, penalties
can be severe, and legal
representation is important. You
may also be sued if you injure
someone.
- You have
a right to representation,
and should only identify
yourself to the police and
comply with lawful orders
before asking for your
lawyer.
- There are
various charges associated
with drunk or drug-impaired
driving, including DUI, DWI,
and OUIL.
- The
penalties for impaired
driving can be severe, and
may include jail, loss or
suspension of your license,
fines, new charges for your
annual vehicle registration,
and increased rates for (or
loss of), your car insurance.
- If you
are arrested it may be
possible to obtain release
with cash bond, but you will
not be released until your
are no longer showing any
alcohol or drug impairment.
- If you
are arrested, your person
and vehicle may be subject
to search. Even if not
arrested, the officer may
check for weapons, and
confiscate contraband items
in plain view.
We can
defend you against impaired
driving charges. |
