What Can Happen After a DUI Charge?

A person convicted of driving under the influence may lose driving privileges, face heavy fines and possible incarceration. Many factors can influence the outcome of a DUI charge such as prior convictions, the involvement of minors, was there an accident with injuries, or whether or not the offender submitted to or refused to take a sobriety test. Kansas has toughened its stance on DUI offenders. In the past, only the prior five years of driving history could be considered at sentencing time but now a lifetime of driving history can be taken into account.

A Olathe DUI lawyer can and should attack the government's driving under the influence evidence. For example, was the person who conducted the sobriety test sufficiently trained to do so and was it administered correctly? Independent witnesses familiar with the testing procedure can attest to your lack of being under the influence by examining the sobriety test results. You need someone who will defend you and work to help you retain your driving privileges, stay out jail, and reduce your fines. That is why you need a criminal defense attorney experienced in DUI cases to assist you through the legal procedure, fight for your rights and demand the best outcome possible for you. It is important that you contact me right away to schedule a consultation to discuss the details of your case.
