We understand that a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) charge is overwhelming. For many people, it is the first time they have ever been arrested. Many charged with a DUI offense do not know whether or not to submit to Field Sobriety Tests (FST’s) and a breathalyzer test. Most do not know that a refusal to submit to a breathalyzer test will result in an automatic six-month suspension of their driver's license.

For those who have never before faced criminal charges, an arrest can be a frightening experience. The stress and anxiety of an arrest may cause you, your family members or friends to overlook important factors, such as the right to remain silent and the right to consult with a lawyer.
