Skilled Portsmouth DUI Lawyer
Receiving a driving under the influence charge can be a costly mistake. One moment of bad judgment can follow you for the rest of your life. In Portsmouth the Commonwealth Attorney’s Office prosecutes all DUI cases. That means the police, state troopers, and the Commonwealth’s Office are all prepared to take away your right to drive and possibly more. You are advised to consider the support of a Portsmouth DUI Lawyer who is familiar with the courts, the law enforcement officers, and the Commonwealth’s attorneys, to defend you against the entire system. A Portsmouth DUI Lawyer knows the nuances and temperament of the court to defend your case to the fullest.
A first offense DUI case can result in a monetary fine, suspension of your driver’s license, required alcohol safety program attendance, and incarceration. A blood alcohol level of 0.15 – 0.20 receives a mandatory minimum sentence of 5 days in jail and a BAC greater than 0.20 receives a mandatory minimum of 10 days in jail. Second or subsequent DUI convictions also carry greater fines, license suspensions and jail time. In addition, outside of the court you could be facing the loss of a job, higher insurance premiums, and a tremendous inconvenience to your life. There is no reason to take it without fighting back; a local Portsmouth DUI attorney can help you fight your DUI charge. Contact one of our Portsmouth DUI Lawyers at (757) 320-4900.
