DUI/Drunk Driving Hire an experienced attorney to beat your DWI/DUI Attorney Mark Kratter will employ any and all defense on your behalf. If you are convicted or plead guilty, he will work to have your driving privileges reinstated as soon as possible, to keep you out of jail, and, if possible, get the charges dismissed altogether after you complete a special pre-trial program. He pursues all available defenses, including challenges to evidence and police procedure. What should I do if stopped for DUI/drunk driving? If you are stopped by the police and suspected of driving while intoxicated, you will be asked to take a chemical test, such as a blood test or a breathalyzer test, to determine your blood alcohol level. In Connecticut, if you refuse to submit to the test as requested by the police officer, you may be prosecuted for drunk driving and your license may be suspended for a period of six months. Do not make any incriminating statements to the police (do not talk about any drinks you had) when you are suspected of drunk driving. Always act in a courteous and respectful manner with the investigating police officer. The police officer's testimony could have a direct bearing on your sentencing in a drunk driving case at a later time. What are the penalties for drinking and driving? Drunk driving is a serious offense in Connecticut. A convicted first-time DUI offender is ordered to pay a fine and may be sentenced to a short jail term. Suspension of his or her driver's license will usually occur as well. There are certain "programs" available to first-time offenders, which allow the defendant's punishment to be decreased under certain circumstances. Our firm also handles serious felony DWI/DUI offenses. As your legal counsel our DUI lawyers will not only defend you against charges, but will help you develop a plan to avoid future legal problems. In addition to DUI, our attorneys provide criminal defense against a range of charges. For more information about Connecticut's criminal trial process, see The Criminal Law Process. |
