Introduction
Our law firm has accumulated more than a half-century's worth of successfully defending clients against all manner of driving under the influence and driving while intoxicated charges.While it is a violation of state law to drive drunk, it is not against the law to drive after you have sobered up after a few drinks. Scads of evidence is in existence to suggest the supposed tried and true methods used by law enforcement to gauge intoxication (such as field sobriety and breathalyzer tests) are prone to yielding false-positive results.
That is just one defense Zaire & Wade will contemplate when we take on your case. It is therefore critical to retain a team of qualified lawyers as quickly as possible following your arrest. There are many potential defenses that can significantly mitigate or dismiss altogether the charges you are facing.
If your alcohol-related driving arrest was not conducted properly, or if the sobriety test in question was administered incorrectly by the police, there is a good chance you were wrongly accused. Despite the circumstantial evidence, you still have rights and you likely still have a great chance at exoneration. With the skilled counselors at Zaire & Wade, you will have the best possible advocates championing your battle.
Our law office will do everything in its power to expedite the process of winning your acquittal. Be that as it may, some legal formalities are unavoidable.
Defendants in DUI cases can expect to wait at least two or three months before their case is fully resolved. The duration of the process will be based on the complexity of the charges.
Our lawyers will be better equipped to provide a more definitive timetable after our initial consultation, at which time we will review and explain all of the specific circumstances involved in your case.
Understanding the charges
Any driving under the influence charges are serious. Regardless of our vsat experience and knowledge, any client facing DUI charges should appreciate the severity of their situation.DUI charges may be levied against you if your blood alcohol concentration was recorded at a rate of 0.08% or above. The state prosecutes DUI offenders to the absolute fullest extent of the law. That requires the very best criminal defense strategy imaginable. Without a competent attorney, jail and/or prison time is likely, to say nothing of significant fines and court costs.
Both civil and court hearings will be scheduled following your arrest. Defendants are allowed only 10 days to seek a civil DHSMV hearing. Failure to comply will result in the suspension of your driver's license for a minimum of six months.
Those charged with multiple DUIs (or felony DUIs) will likely see a reduction in that 10-day window. Being arrested for DUI is scary. It is easy to be intimidated by the process. Needless to mention, having a strong ally on your side is of paramount importance.

The influence of those two variables has led to a great number of incorrect DUI arrests throughout history and may have played a role in yours.
