Welcome to DUI Laws
DUI Laws (duilaws.com) has been designed to help you locate a qualified DUI attorney in your area. Use the map above and click on the state where your DUI case is located. The next page will link you to a DUI lawyer in the county where your offense occurred.
If you have been arrested for suspicion of drunk driving, then you may have been charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI), Driving While Impaired (DWI), Driving While Intoxicated (also DWI), Actual Physical Control (APC), Operating a Vehicle while Intoxicated (OVI), Operating a Motor Vehicle while Intoxicated (OMVI), Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) or Driving While Ability Impaired (DWAI). The name of the offense differs from state to state. In addition, the offense may vary depending on the severity of the case and your age.
The biggest mistake you can make is not taking your DUI arrest seriously. You could lose your driver's license, pay large fines, see your auto insurance rates go up and even end up serving time in jail. Having a criminal arrest record could also cost you your job and hurt your chances of future employment.
It is important that you have a qualified and experienced criminal defense attorney who primarily limits their law practice to D.U.I. and drunk driving cases to represent you. DUI Laws will help you find an attorney who focuses on DUI defense in your area.
The DUI Laws site also provides a compilation of Drunk Driving / DUI Laws for each state, as well as information on DUI schools, breathalyzers, ignition interlock devices, field sobriety testing and alcohol awareness and education programs.
Drunk Driving has been defined in all 50 states as having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher. Some states can charge you with a lesser drunk driving offense even if your BAC is below .08%.
