What rights are affected by a DUI arrest that a criminal attorney can protect?
The biggest one is your right to drive. If you took and flunked the breath test, or if you refused to take a breath, blood or urine test, your license is automatically suspended for a set period of time. An experienced criminal DUI attorney can file challenges to the suspension that will keep you driving for at least awhile in the short run and may be able to overturn the suspension altogether. But action must be taken within ten days or you will have to serve out the suspension that can be for as much as 18 months, in some circumstances.
