Any DUI arrest is likely to create two sets of legal problems for you — the risk of conviction on a criminal charge and the likelihood that you'll lose your right to drive in an administrative license suspension hearing. These are separate proceedings, and each requires attention in order to protect your interests.
Our law firm can guide you through both processes with the goal of beating the criminal charges and keeping your driver's license intact. Each can be very difficult depending on the facts of your case.
On the criminal DUI side, if you blew an .08 percent or greater on a breath test, your best bet for a victory in court or a favorable plea arrangement will depend on our ability to attack either the circumstances of your traffic stop or the toxicology evidence that resulted from the breath test. Our attorneys will take a careful look at the facts and use all the evidence we can develop to seek an early dismissal or apply pressure on the prosecution to compromise the charges.
Meanwhile, it's essential to seek an administrative hearing on the license suspension issues within seven days of your arrest. Otherwise, you won't have the right to argue for a suspension on the low end of the suspension range of six months to one year. You'll also lose the right to get a restricted license that can get a first DUI offender back on the road after a 30-day hard suspension.
If you have a good defense to an Idaho DUI charge, our lawyers know how to make the most of it in court. If the facts of the case indicate that you don't have a good defense, we'll concentrate on mitigating the consequences of a conviction. Our ability to advise you about the difference between a strong case and a weak one represents one of the most valuable services we offer our clients.
