If you have been charged with Driving Under the Influence, you are at risk of losing your driver's license. In some situations, you must take legal action within 10 days or you may have your driver's license suspended for one year. Furthermore, a plea of guilty can result in jail time, a criminal record, higher insurance rates, loss of reputation, and loss of employment and/or diminshed job prospects.

There are legitimate defenses to a DUI charge including the lack of probable cause when the police officer made the initial stop, inaccuracy of the field sobriety test, and inaccuracy of the breath-testing machine.
