What happens if I refused to take a breath test?

Answered by attorney Thomas Frederick Mueller (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Law Office of Thomas F. Mueller
If you were lawfully arrested and refused to take a test you can be charged with DUI and lose your license for a year. If all you had was 2 beers it is regrettable that you didnt test.

How long is the jail time when charged with intoxicated assault?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Francis John Cowhig (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Francis John Cowhig
It sounds like he is being charged with felony assault with intent to cause bodily injury. If there is no bail, he will be in jail until his case is resolved and he is sentenced. This would probably take a minimum of 3 to 9 months. Felony assault usually carries a minimum jail sentence of 1 to 3 years, depending the facts of the case.

Can I fight a charge against me if I was not given a breathalyzer test when I got arrested?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Unfortunately you are likely to lose on each of those points. You do not have the right to a lawyer before the tests (breath, blood or urine) are given. Even without a breathalyzer (and I'm not sure if you mean an 'intoxilyzer' or not), if you were driving in an impaired fashion, and the impairment in driving was due to ingestion of alcohol or a controlled substance, they can charge you with drunk driving, which is a different offense from driving with a prohibited alcohol content in your blood. Miranda rights are not very helpful. If they do not read them to you, and if you are in custody at the time they question you, then all that happens is that they cannot use your statements against you in court. But usually they don't need to do so Find a skilled OWI lawyer. It almost always helps.
