If I have one DUI and received another DUI in another state, will that count as a second offense DUI?

Answered by attorney Edward Jerome Blum (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Law Office of Edward J. Blum
It depends on whether the DUI from the first stare is substantially similar to the statute in the second state. If not, you can move to strike the prior.

What will happen to my DUI charge?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
If this is your first DUI (or 'OWI' as we say in the trade in Wisconin), and there are no aggravating factors, there is no jail time associated with it. If it is a second or subsequent offence, or if you were driving with a child under 16 in the car, it would be a different story. But an uncomplicated first-offence OWI usually results in an unpleasant forfeiture (size of which depends on the amount of alcohol measured), and a number of other requirements, but no jail.

If BAC is under do courts have to go by the blood drawn results regardless if the cops let 3 hours of time pass?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
You don't talk about the facts of the case. If you were in an accident and someone was injured even you... the law mandates a blood draw. You can't refuse. If the blood test comes in under the legal limit, that does not mean your case will go away, as the DUI statute says " 08 or above, OR driving affected to an appreciable degree" All they have to show is that your driving was impacted. The blood test may also show whether you were under the influence of drugs as well. Of note, it this case does go to trial, your refusal to submit to a breath test can be used as evidence against you. The jury and /or judge can be told that you refused the test. What do you think the jury is going to do with that information?? Also, because you refused the breath test, even if you were to get off on the DUI charge, because of the refusal alone, the Department of Licensing will revoke your license for a minimum of 1 year, with no provision for an occupational work permit. No license means no license. After that, in order to get your license, the DOL may require you to have an interlock on your vehicle, at your expense. This is a machine you have to blow into every time you start your car. If there is any alcohol present, the vehicle won't start. If you think you can get someone else to blow into the machine, that won't work because there are small video cameras in the car.
