Red Cliff, CO DUI and DWAI Law Firms & Lawyers

Every crime carries potential jail or prison upon conviction. Yours is a misdemeanor with up to a year in jail The honest answer is that no attorney can predict the outcome, nor even give an intelligent opinion, without reviewing and knowing all the charges, evidence, police reports, expected testimony, priors history, etc. Raise all appropriate defenses with whatever witnesses, evidence and sympathies are available for legal arguments, for evidence suppression or other motions, or for trial. Effective plea-bargaining, using those defenses, could possibly reduce the potential ?time? and other penalties you face. If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through motions, plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

I could envision your son winning an acquittal for his DUI at trial with a good lawyer, but he will get an automatic 1 year Driver's License Suspension for his refusal.

If you had a conviction for a DUI in Missouri, you should be able to possess and buy a firearm. If you buy from a licensed dealer, be sure that you answer the questions on the form honestly.
