Everyone knows that drinking and driving can be dangerous and costly. You have probably heard someone’s story about their drunk driving arrest. But what happens once you are arrested and charged? Should you take the breath test? If you’ve only had one or two drinks, should you tell the officer? Should you quickly plead before trial, and try to get your license back? Should you fight the charge? Will you go to jail?

Be aware: OUI/DWI/DUI prosecutions and convictions can follow you for life. This is true even if you move to another state. Even if your instincts tell you to quickly resolve the case so you can move on with your life, consult with BELLOTTI LAW GROUP to make sure your rights and options are protected from the beginning. Otherwise, you may forever compromise or forfeit certain privileges and opportunities.

At BELLOTTI LAW GROUP, we know the consequences of an OUI charge, even if it is your first. You may have several options that you are unaware of: often, motions to suppress statements and evidence, or even the traffic stop itself, can dramatically change the complexion of the case. If you have taken the breath test, there are challenges and evidentiary issues that can affect the case. Contact us to find out more about your case!

Sometimes, cases go to trial because it is possible the prosecutor does not have enough evidence to convict, or because you do not feel you committed the acts as the police or witnesses have described. When making these decisions, is critical you have an aggressive and experienced attorney on your side to provide insight and advice. After the case ends, you may have to deal with the OUI prosecution’s effect on your license to operate a motor vehicle. At BELLOTTI LAW GROUP, we know all about the license laws and regulations, and will always seek to limit your license loss to the minimum prescribed by law.
