 When an individual has been stopped by law enforcement and
charged with a DUI offense, many people do not realize they
are being charge with a crime, and even a first time
offender may face potential incarceration.
An individual may be charged for a DUI if their normal
faculties are impaired by alcohol, or if they are operating
a motor vehicle
with a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher.
Please see our RESULTS section on DUI cases including
our role in the dismissal of 54 DUI cases in Polk County.
When determining if an individual who has been pulled over
for suspicion of being under the influence of drugs or
alcohol is a process which is subject to the general
perception of the law enforcement officer. Field sobriety
tests are inherently designed to make you fail.
