Working With a Hood River County DUI Attorney
DUI charges are very serious affairs, but they don’t have to spell the end of your career or the demise of your reputation. If you’ve found yourself in a situation where an arrest has been made on suspicion of driving under the influence, it is imperative that you work with a qualified legal professional. As a career Oregon DUI lawyer, my main goal is to protect your rights at every step of your journey, ensuring that the best possible defense is mounted on your behalf.
Regardless of the circumstances of your situation, I’m here to help. I’ve had clients in the past come to me who are well-meaning, law-abiding citizens who simply made an error in judgment that saw them getting pulled over just slightly over the legal limit. In other cases, police used the improper procedure or faulty equipment, resulting in a false arrest. Whatever the situation, we can talk it through, create an action plan together, and execute it.
Understanding Your Hood River DUI Charges
In Hood River, laws pertaining to DUIs are very explicit. As a first-time offender, you can be convicted of a Class A misdemeanor, resulting in up to one year in prison and a fine totaling $6,250. If you are under 21 at the time of the arrest, any level of blood alcohol content is punishable as a criminal offense. For repeat offenders, the fines and prison time can become much worse, so it is extremely important to be proactive when dealing with these sorts of charges for the first time.
As a highly experienced DUI lawyer in Hood River, Oregon, one of my main strategies with first-time offenders it to take advantage of DUI diversion programs. These are specific, structured programs that involve alcohol treatment, community service, and a number of educational courses. The main benefit of this method is that the charges themselves can be dropped at the end of the process, making it particularly effective for these cases.
