Drunk Driving

Over the past few years, enforcement of drunk driving laws has become a higher priority to law enforcement. Pressure groups, such as Mothers Against Drunk Drivers, lobby the legislature to pass increasingly severe drunk driving laws. Prosecutors are also subject to this pressure. As a result, more and more cases fall into the category of “policy” cases where the court level district attorney has little or no ability to negotiate a resolution. Judges, as elected officials, also have pressure to strictly enforce the laws.

As a result of this type of enforcement of drunk driving laws, it is important that you have competent representation to get you through this process.  Probably more than any other crime, persons charged with driving drunk are more likely to have had little or no prior contact with the criminal justice system. A drunk driving charge can result in jail, fines, and probation. There will be sanctions against your drivers license. Driver responsibility fees have been added for certain offenses, making this crime even more costly.
