A DUI conviction can have serious consequences that may impact multiple aspects of your life. Some of the potential penalties include:



• Fines and Court Costs: DUI convictions can result in hefty fines, sometimes totaling thousands of dollars.
• License Suspension: Your driver’s license could be suspended for months or even years, affecting your ability to work and handle daily responsibilities.
• Jail Time: Depending on the severity of the charge and prior offenses, you could face days, months, or even years behind bars.
• Probation: Courts may impose probation with strict conditions that must be followed to avoid further penalties.
• Ignition Interlock Device: Some convictions require the installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle, adding extra costs and inconvenience.
• Increased Insurance Rates: A DUI conviction can significantly raise your auto insurance premiums for years to come.

These penalties make it essential to have an experienced DUI defense attorney on your side to fight for the best possible outcome in your case.

Defenses Against DUI Charges

At Blocker Law PLLC, we explore all possible defenses to challenge DUI charges. Some common defense strategies include:



• Unlawful Traffic Stop: If law enforcement did not have reasonable suspicion to stop you, any evidence collected may be inadmissible in court.
• Inaccurate Breath or Blood Test Results: Faulty breathalyzer devices or improper administration of blood tests can lead to inaccurate readings.
• Field Sobriety Test Issues: Field sobriety tests can be unreliable due to improper administration, medical conditions, or environmental factors.
• Violation of Your Rights: If law enforcement failed to follow proper procedures, such as reading your Miranda rights, it may be possible to have evidence suppressed.
• Medical Conditions or Other Explanations: Certain medical conditions or medications can produce symptoms that mimic intoxication.

By thoroughly investigating your case, we aim to find weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence and develop a strong defense strategy.
