Driving Under the Influence (DUI) of Alcohol and/or Drugs

Driving Under the Influence charges can dramatically impact your life. Consuming alcohol and/or drugs prior to driving home from a bar, party, family dinner, or even an important event could have severe consequences on you and your family. A first offense DUI carries mandatory jail time, license suspension, and fines. Put simply, a DUI conviction could ruin your life.

At The Law Offices of Ackourey & Turel P.C. our goal is to get your DUI charges reduced or dismissed.

Potential Penalties for a DUI Conviction

Hiring an experienced DUI attorney to represent you is extremely important. Whether you are charged with a first, second, third, or higher DUI offense, our experienced and aggressive DUI attorneys have handled the most complex cases including DUI cases arising out of medical marijuana. If you are found guilty of driving under the influence, you may risk a series of short- and long-term consequences including:

• Mandatory jail time
• License suspension
• Permanent criminal record
• Increase auto insurance rates
• Loss of employment
• Loss of commercial driving privileges (CDL) 

Potential DUI Defenses

Fortunately, strong DUI defenses exist depending on your case. Each case is complex and our DUI attorneys are well versed in potential DUI defenses. Some of these defenses may include:

• A lack of probable cause to arrest you or reasonable suspicion to stop your vehicle
• Blood test results seized from a hospital without a search warrant
• Statements made to the police without your Miranda rights provided
• Medical issues misinterpreted as evidence of your intoxication
• Improper collection, storage, and transfer of blood evidence
• Improper procedures at the crime lab
• Failure of testing equipment
• Failure or properly calibrate and maintain breath testing machine 

Diversionary Program

For first time DUI offenders, you may be eligible for placement into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition (ARD) Program. This program does not result in a conviction. If approved by the Commonwealth and the Judge, you would be placed on probation with conditions and avoid a prison sentence. Expungment of your criminal record is another benefit of completing the ARD program. Our DUI attorneys regularly negotiate placement of our clients into the ARD Program.
