Have you been charged with a DUI / DWI and not sure where to turn or what might happen next? Being charged with a DUI in Connecticut can be a stressful and frightening experience. You might be wondering if you are going to jail or will lose your license. A conviction for operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol can carry penalties that could seriously affect your ability to get to your job or provide for your family. Drunk driving is taken very seriously by the Connecticut prosecutors, particularly for repeat offenders where driver's license suspension times and penalties handed out by the courts are more severe.
     After a DUI arrest, an individual will face both criminal charges from the State of CT and suspension of their driving privileges from the Department of Motor Vehicles.  A DMV Per Se Hearing will need to be scheduled to fight the driver's license suspension. Often people believe that a breathalyzer test resulting in a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher means there is no reasonable legal defense against a DUI charge. You need an experienced attorney to obtain the best possible chance of successfully challenging the evidence being used against you. Along with the license suspension, being convicted of a DUI can result in serious consequences such as jail time, fines or probation.  An individual may qualify for the Alcohol Education Program which could lead to a dismal of charges.
