Arrested & Not Sure What Happens Next? Our Connecticut DUI Lawyers Explain.

After being stopped for DUI, the process generally consists of the following steps:

The driver is taken to the local police department
The driver is booked and read his or her Miranda rights
The driver is given the opportunity to call an attorney
The driver is read the implied consent advisory to submit to breath, blood or urine tests.
The driver takes the tests and the results are reported
The driver is released on the promise that he or she will appear in court

We strongly recommend against refusing to take a breath test so that you can obtain a permit to drive to work and increase the likelihood of a more favorable outcome. Refusing to take the test can lead to a six-month license suspension. If you are a first-time offender or refused to take a breath test, you may be able to complete an Alcohol Education Program that will allow you to get your charges dismissed.

The penalties for DUI are very serious and become even harsher for repeat DUI offenders. Other factors that can determine the penalties you face include whether an accident was caused or if anyone was injured.
