Your DUI Case is a Serious Matter
It is now more important than ever that when you step in front of the Judge on your DUI case, you are represented by an experienced DUI attorney. Someone familiar with the rapidly changing case law dealing with not only your case in chief but also the suspension of your license.
A DUI charge for a first offender is a Class A misdemeanor punishable by up to 354 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,500. If you have prior convictions for DUI, your case may be a felony, punishable by up to 7 years in prison, 30 years if you have 5 or more prior violations for DUI.
A DUI conviction will trigger the revocation of your license by the Secretary of State. If your license is revoked for DUI, your license can only be reinstated at a hearing in front of hearing officers from the Secretary of State’s office.
The Secretary of State will act to suspend your driver’s license 46 days after your arrest for DUI, if you either a) blew over .08 in a breathalyzer exam, or b) refused a breathalyzer test. This suspension can be for as little as six months or as long as three years. Brian Shields aggressively defends your rights in the civil proceeding where your license is at stake.
