Hartford DUI Lawyer

Fighting to Save Your Driving Privileges – (860) 524-8118

The highway patrol officers of Connecticut are notorious for seeking out anyone who might have a hint of alcohol in their systems and pulling them over to secure driving under the influence (DUI) arrest. The legal limit for civilian drivers is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or greater, but some DUI arrests can be made even when the BAC count is lower. No matter the reported BAC of the driver, it is possible that their driver’s license will be automatically suspended just days after the arrest. Action must be taken to stop it.

Penalties for DUI Arrest in CT

A single DUI conviction in Connecticut can bring about severe penalties. When deciding upon punishments, the criminal justice system will examine your past criminal and driving record. Any convictions for other DUIs, or possibly even vehicle-related crimes, could massively escalate the penalties you face if convicted again. The top priority of our Hartford DUI attorneys at The Sills Law Firm is doing everything in our power to reduce or eliminate your charges or sentencing.

A typical DUI conviction can include these penalties and more:

  • License suspension
  • High fines
  • Lengthy jail time
  • Many hours of community service
  • Mandatory ignition interlock device (IID)

As mentioned previously, there are situations in which the Connecticut Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can suspend your license before you are even convicted. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, merely the act of being arrested for a suspected DUI can trigger an administrative per se suspension. If this is the case, you have just 7 days to contact the DMV and request a hearing, during which you can challenge the automatic suspension of your license. Failure to do so will trigger the suspension 30 days after your arrest, regardless of any ongoing or concluded criminal proceedings. Urgency is crucial if you want to hold onto your freedoms.
