What happens when you get a DUI with a high BAC? How?

Answered by attorney Jason William Savela
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Savela Law Firm, P.C.
some judges like to put a young person in jail for a day or two to make sure he learns the lesson, but most will just put on probation with classes and community service he will lose his license for a year unless a rabbit jumps out of a hat In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are material and exculpatory. Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.

Can I be convicted of a DUI?

Answered by attorney Steven Joseph Pisani (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Steven J. Pisani, LLC
You have a "no control" defense to the charge of DUI. You have to be in actual physical control of the vehicle and intoxicated in order to be prosecuted for DUI. If you plead guilty, you will have a permanent conviction on your criminal record in Colorado, as well as have to pay thousands of dollars in court costs and fines. Contact a Colorado Criminal Defense or Colorado DUI Defense attorney as soon as possible. You may also need to request a DMV hearing in order to preserve your driving privilege.

How long does it take for a DUI to show up on a background check?

The second DUI arrest will appear by now, and the co. will ask about the disposition. So, they should know you have a conviction for DUI before they hire you.
