Driving Under the Influence (DUI)
Being charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) in the District of Columbia or the State of Maryland is a serious offense. A conviction could result in jail time, fines, becoming uninsurable and a loss of your privilege to drive. The difference in the outcome of your case could rest on the attorney handling your case. With these potentially serious losses facing someone arrested and charged with DUI, securing competent legal representation is of paramount importance.
Drinking and Driving
Driving under the influence can be charged to anyone who tests positive for a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or higher. When that level is reached differs from person to person depending on several factors like (1) how much alcohol was consumed, (2) the length of time over which alcohol was consumed, (3) whether food was also consumed, and (4) the person’s body weight. A person’s history with alcohol or feeling drunk is not a reliable indicator of whether or not the person is legally drunk. Breath and blood tests are often considered conclusive evidence of a person’s blood alcohol content. In addition, a refusal of a breath or blood test will likely be viewed as known evidence of impairment at or above the legal limit of 0.08% BAC.
