Talk to a Covington Lawyer Who Knows the Rules
There is a lot that an experienced DUI defense attorney can do for you. At the Otis & Johnson law firm in Covington, Kentucky, we know that being arrested for drunk driving (DUI, DWI, OVI) can be the most nerve-racking and horrifying moment of a person's life.
DUI, DWI and OVI Are Serious Charges With Severe Penalties
The consequences for a DUI or OVI conviction can be devastating and long-lasting. If you think a BAC (blood alcohol content) over the legal limit means you must plead guilty, talk to a DUI defense lawyer. The initial consultation is free at Otis & Johnson. The reality is that these cases can frequently be beaten — and that is important because the penalties can be stiff even for a first offense:
- Possibility of jail time
- Lengthy driver's license suspension
- Huge fines and fees
- Expensive and time-consuming alcohol counseling
- Increases in auto insurance rates
- Loss of Commercial Driver's License (CDL)
- Public embarrassment and humiliation
- Potential loss of employment
The consequences of a DUI or OVI conviction can be life-changing. If you have been charged, find a DUI defense lawyer who will fight aggressively for your rights.
- Breathalyzer machines are not 100 percent reliable. Sometimes the machine malfunctions and produces inaccurate results. These machines require frequent maintenance and calibration to work properly. If a machine is not regularly maintained, the test results can be inaccurate.
- Did you know that the field sobriety tests administered by many police agencies should not even be given to obese people or people who suffer from leg or back problems?
- Many things can interfere with results of a Breathalyzer. False teeth, the presence of residual mouth alcohol, the presence of a foreign substance in the mouth like chewing tobacco or dip or even frequent inhalation of certain types of paint fumes have been proven to interfere with breath test results. Some of these factors can actually cause the results to be much higher than they should be.
With the stakes of a drunk driving charge and conviction so high, you should be represented by an informed and aggressive DUI defense attorney who knows how to fight DUI prosecution.
