Effective DUI Representation in Narragansett
If you are facing DUI charges for the first time, you may be able to enroll in a deferred sentencing program which can result in a case dismissal once the program has been completed. Another option could be probation, which is an alternative to jail time. The penalties for a guilty verdict in a multiple DUI case are much more severe than a first offense DUI. You will be facing a longer jail sentence and may even be incarcerated in a state prison. You will also have steeper fines to pay and will lose your right to drive for a longer period of time.
One defense strategy that may be utilized in your case is challenging the results of your field sobriety, blood and breath tests. Many times test results are flawed because they weren't administered properly. Any defense possibility will be fully explored by the firm, and your attorney will take whatever legal measures are necessary in order to protect your freedom.
