What to Expect During an Arrest
If you are pulled over for a suspected DUI, chances are the arresting officer observed you driving in a way that was erratic or irresponsible. He or she may ask you to perform a field sobriety test, which you are allowed to refuse. You may also be asked to submit to a Breathalyzer, which can quickly determine your level of intoxication.
While you are allowed to refuse any test, we recommend that you submit to it, as a refusal can immediately lead to a short or long-term suspension of your driving license. After an arrest is made, you may be asked to undergo either a breath, blood, or urine test in order to confirm your level of intoxication.
How To Navigate Your DUI Charges
First time DUI offenders can sometimes face less intense consequences than a repeat offender. Dismissal rates may also be higher for first time offenders.
As a first time offender, it may be easier to keep you out of jail; however, this depends on:
- Your level of intoxication
- Whether or not anyone else was injured as a result of your choice to operate a vehicle
During our free initial consultation, our San Francisco DUI lawyer can evaluate the specifics of your circumstances and guide you through the best way to proceed with your case.
