DUI and DWI

You may be cited for driving while intoxicated (DUI) if you are found to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs, including a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or more. Penalties are determined by whether you are a first-time DUI offender or if you have multiple DUIs; if you were on probation or had a suspended license; or if your BAC was .15 or higher during your third or subsequent DUI, which is charged as felony DUI.

Attorney Tom Olsen can determine if your rights were violated, including whether police properly administered standardized field sobriety tests and your BAC test. He will seek dropped or reduced charges to preserve your driving privileges so you can maintain your ability to earn a living and complete normal daily tasks.
