River Ridge DUI & DWI Lawyer

There are many potential defenses for a DUI case in Louisiana:

• The prosecution must also prove that the defendant was driving.
• Implied consent warnings.
• “Under the influence”. The officer’s observations and opinions as to intoxication can be questioned.
• Blood-alcohol concentration (BAC).
• Testing during the absorptive phase.
• The BAC must relate back in time from the test to the time of stop and arrest.
• Regulation of blood-alcohol testing.

Contact Crescent City Law as soon as possible and prior to your arraignment if possible.

You were probably given a 30 day temporary license. You have 15 days to request an administrative hearing regarding the suspension of your license.

If you are represented by an attorney at the arraignment, you probably will not have to attend. At an arraignment, the court will enter a plea of not guilty on your behalf and give a date to return to court for a pre-trial conference or trial.

If you are stopped for suspicion of DWI/DUI and refuse the breath test, your license will be suspended for one hundred and eighty days; if you are stopped for suspicion of DWI/DUI and take the breath test and the results show a .08 percent or higher, your license will be suspended for ninety days. If you refuse to submit to the test, your driving privileges shall be suspended for one hundred eighty days from the date of suspension on a first refusal. Additional refusals cause longer suspensions.
