CONSEQUENCES OF A DUI CHARGE
Before you hire a DUI lawyer, it is important to understand the potential consequences that you are facing. DUI is a serious criminal charge that can change your life. Our attorneys are experienced at helping clients avoid or reduce consequences such as the following.
DUI penalties: If you are convicted of DUI, your sentence may include jail time, probation and/or fines. The penalties for DUI can increase based on the number of convictions on your record, your blood alcohol content (BAC) and other factors.
License suspension and revocation: If you are charged with DUI, your driver’s license can be taken within a very short period of time if you do not act quickly. If you are convicted, it may also be suspended or revoked for a period of time. You can also lose your license for refusing a breath test.
MVA driving records: A DUI conviction will remain on your driving record indefinitely. The points associated with a conviction may eventually go away, but a DUI record can still affect your insurance rates for years to come.
A DUI conviction on your criminal record: DUI is a criminal offense. Depending on the specific charges against you, it could be a misdemeanor or a felony. A criminal record can affect your employment, education, voting rights and more.
The impact of DUI on a professional career: If you need a professional license to do your job or are employed by the government, a DUI conviction could directly impact your ability to continue in your career.
DUI and commercial drivers: The consequences of a DUI conviction can be particularly harsh if you need a commercial driver’s license (CDL) to do your job.
Every DUI case is unique and can have unique consequences. Contact us immediately to discuss your specific case with a knowledgeable DUI defense attorney.
Client Review
“Matt Rogers was absolutely amazing! Going into this I was pretty clueless and he ensured that every base was covered as far as what was going on, the next step and any questions or concerns that I had. The outcome far exceeded the outcome that I was anticipating and I couldn’t be happier with my experience with the Greenberg Law Office! I will definitely be referring anyone in need of a lawyer to their law office in the future.”
