Do You Need an Experienced DUI Defense Attorney in Beaverton?
If you make the mistake of consuming alcohol or an illicit substance while driving and get caught in the act in the state of Oregon, you will need DUI representation. Oregon is a state known for handing down severe penalties to convicted offenders. Fortunately for you, Andy Green is a renowned DUI attorney in Beaverton and he can help you with your legal situation.
The city of Beaverton has a population of over 97,000 and is located in Washington County, Oregon. It is just seven miles from the state capital of Portland and was named as one of Money magazine’s best 100 places to live in 2010.
One of the reasons why it is such a great location is down to the efficiency of law enforcement. Unfortunately, those accused of DUI could face penalties such as fines, license suspension and even imprisonment. As a well-respected attorney when it comes to dealing with Washington County DUI offenses, Andy Green can offer you the correct legal advice.
However, bear in mind that the possible severity of punishment depends on factors such as your blood-alcohol content (BAC), prior DUI offenses, and whether there was a minor (under the age of 18) at least three years younger than you in the vehicle at the time of your offense.

Tips from a DUI Lawyer in Washington County
The definition for DUI is the same in all areas of Oregon which is why you could use a Beaverton DUI attorney even if arrested in Portland. You will be charged with DUI if your BAC is 0.08 or higher. The arresting officer may ask you to submit to a breathalyzer test to see if you are over the limit. If you refuse to submit to the test, your license is automatically suspended but you have ten days to challenge the ruling.
