DUI/Drunk Driving Charges in Idaho
Working to Keeping You Out of Jail and on the Road
The drunk driving criminal process is a classic "mill" designed to churn out as many prosecutions as possible. To that end, prosecutors are determined, trials are quick and convictions are numerous.
The aggressive defense of your drunk driving claim is imperative, because even a first offense can bring serious consequences, including:
- A fine of up to $1,000
- A jail term of up to one year (though terms are usually about five days)
- Community service, mandatory completion of an alcohol or drug evaluation, and mandatory attendance at a victims' panel
- A suspended drivers' license
- A criminal record
The attorneys of the Boise law firm of Miller & Harr, PLLC can provide the aggressive and knowledgeable help you need when facing prosecutors who have years of experience in maximizing DUI penalties. We have handled hundreds of drunk driving defense cases. Additionally, our team's experience includes hundreds of drunk driving arrest prosecutions prior to entering defense law.
We are familiar with both sides of DUI cases and can:
- Question the opinion of drug recognition experts (DREs) brought to the scene of cases involving drugs and driving.
- Questions police claims to "probable cause"; police need probable cause to pull over a car. They can't just pull someone for no reason. Many reasons given for probable cause are invalid, leading to a dismissal of the charges.
In addition to first offenses, we can defend against multiple offense, aggravated DUI and felony DUI, which can result from excessive blood alcohol levels, property damage or injuries. For more information and sound legal assistance, contact our office.
