DUI Defense
Although DUI charges may not be considered as serious as some other criminal charges, they should never be ignored. These charges carry serious penalties that can affect your life in many ways, even after you have served the initial sentence. In fact, if you are convicted of DUI, you may face severe consequences that impact your life for years to come.
If you are facing a DUI charge in the state of Delaware, having the right attorney on your side in court is essential. McLane Law, LLC has experience defending clients in DUI cases, and we are here to help you minimize your chances of conviction.
Understanding DUI Charges
You may be charged with DUI in the state of Delaware any time a law enforcement official suspects that you are operating a vehicle under the influence of drugs or alcohol. You will be automatically charged with DUI if your blood alcohol concentration is more than 0.08. You may also be charged with this crime if the law enforcement official has other reasons to believe you may be driving while intoxicated.
The possible penalties for a DUI conviction will depend on a variety of factors, including the nature of the offense, your criminal background, and the discretion of the court. Some of the penalties you may face if you are convicted of a DUI charge include:
- Monetary fines
- Time in prison
- Loss of driving privileges
In general, penalties for conviction will be most severe for offenders who have been convicted of DUI in the past. The more DUI convictions you have on your record, the more severe your punishment will be. In some cases, lighter penalties may be available if you complete an alcohol and drug treatment program. However, this type of relief is not always possible.All criminal charges in the state of Delaware are divided into two primary categories based on their severity: felonies and misdemeanors. Felonies are the most serious criminal charges in the state, while misdemeanors are less serious. Nonetheless, all of these charges can lead to significant penalties if you are convicted.
Why You Need a Qualified Attorney
The possible penalties for a DUI conviction put your freedom and future at risk. With such high stakes, having a capable attorney to defend you is essential.
