Addressing License Suspension

If you have been stopped by the police on suspicion of drunk driving and given a breath test, you face the possibility of license suspension, as well as fines and possible jail time.

If your blood-alcohol content (BAC) tested at 0.08% or 0.09%, your license can be suspended for three months. If you tested at 0.10% or above, your license will be suspended for seven months to a year. You have a right to a hearing, but if you do not request one, the license suspension will be automatic.

There will also be a separate municipal court hearing to determine whether you will get a fine or jail time. It is very important to be represented by a DUI criminal defense lawyer at this hearing. With the help of the law office of Anthony N. Palumbo, it may be possible to get your DUI license suspension period reduced.

Questioning the Test Results

The most common type of evidence the prosecutor has after a drinking and driving arrest is the breath test. These tests are not infallible. A qualified operator must administer the test, the correct chemicals must be used, and external factors such as radio interference can affect the machines.

I am highly experienced at working with qualified experts to examine the details of breath tests and determine whether their results can be challenged. It is only after I have examined every possibility for a dismissal of the drunk driving charges that there will be a discussion concerning the best possible plea bargain that might be obtained in your case.
