OUIL Attorney OUIL/ DUI Info DUI FAQ Contact Detroit Michigan OUIL / DUI Lawyer OUIL Attorney Cases involving operating a motor vehicle under the influence of liquor are among the most difficult for a lawyer. Without minimizing society's justifiable concern for the tragedy potential of drivers who have drunk too much, the lawyer must engage in extensive legal research, be aware of the weaknesses of the blood alcohol testing devices, and be able to present those weaknesses to a jury in terms that lay persons can understand. Talpos & Arnold principal, John C. Talpos, is recognized as an expert in this area of law. Additionally, he has presented seminars on this topic to hundreds of lawyers on behalf of Michigan's Institute of Continuing Legal Education. JOHN C. TALPOS is the principal in the firm. Talpos has been practicing law for over 25 years. He received his undergraduate degree from the University of Detroit. He is an honors graduate from the University of Detroit School of Law where he obtained his J.D., and a Ford Foundation Fellowship winner at New York University School of Law where he obtained a Master of Law (LI.M.-Crim.J.). OUIL/ DUI Info A DUI is when someone is operating, or is in actual physical control, of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substance, to the extent that their mental faculties are impaired, and/or their BAC is above the legal limit. In all states, it is unlawful for any person who has 0.08 percent or more, by weight, of alcohol in his or her blood to drive a vehicle. In order to be convicted of DUI, it must be shown that you were driving or possessed actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol at the time of arrest. It must further be shown by the state's prosecution that the arresting officer had a reasonable, articulable suspicion for stopping or approaching the vehicle, or if you were stopped at a roadblock, that the roadblock was set up in accordance with the Fourth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. DUI FAQ If I am arrested for a DUI, will I lose my license? Yes, the law enforcement officer will seize your license if you are arrested for DUI with an unlawful BAC, or after you refuse to submit to a chemical or physical test. Your license will be seized, and the officer will issue you a traffic ticket, which acts as both a temporary driver`s license and as your notice of suspension. How long will I lose my license? This varies from state to state. However, if you have refused to submit to a chemical or physical test, your license will likely be suspended for a period of one year for a first refusal, or for eighteen months if you have previously refused to submit to such a test. If you have an unlawful BAC, your driving privilege will likely be suspended for six months for a first offense, and one year for a second offense. What else will happen to me? Once again, this varies from state to state. But more than likely, you will be given a jail term; most states require a mandatory one-night stay on the first offense. In addition, most second offenses within five years result in a mandatory 30-day jail term, and a third offense usually results in a sentence of no less than ninety days. Furthermore, your insurance company may discontinue its coverage or at the very least, assign you to a high-risk category, resulting in a substantial increase in your premiums.

Proposals - Recent DWI Decisions - DWI Seminars - Conferences - Organizations DWI In General - DWI Links - Dealing with DWI - Do you have a problem? - Getting help Driving While Intoxicated ( DWI ) ...is a serious offense in the State of New Jersey. Besides mandatory fines, surcharges and possible jail, the NJ Court must impose mandatory drivers license suspensions, with no exceptions, even for people who must drive to work. The purpose of this site is to provide access to legal representation if you have been charged with DWI in New Jersey. While other attorneys claim they "specialize" in defending NJ drivers charged with Driving While Intoxicated, my practice is limited to DWI defense and defense of related motor vehicle violations. After twenty nine years of defending New Jersey drivers charged with DWI, it is clear that you can not win a DWI case, unless you make every effort to do so. We require that the State of New Jersey prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, prove that the breath test was administered properly, that the breath test machine was properly operating, that , that the police had articulable suspicion to stop the vehicle in the first place and probable cause to make the arrest after the stop. We will try all DWI complaints to a verdict unless it appears that a guilty plea is in the best interests of the client . Over the years I have been fortunate to serve as Chairman of the New Jersey State Bar Association Municipal Court Committee, testify in the New Jersey State Legislature to reform DWI laws, serve as a Municipal Prosecutor, have articles on Standardized Field Sobriety Tests published in the New Jersey Lawyer and train other lawyers how to defend DWI cases in various seminars, most recently in three seminars presented by the New Jersey Institute for Continuing Legal Education. I represent clients across the State of New Jersey, trying cases literally from one end of the State to the other. If you believe that your driver's license is worth fighting for, contact us immediately. Remember to give careful attention to the selection of an attorney, as proper representation can make a substantial difference in the outcome of your case. I hope we have the opportunity to speak soon. Peter H. Lederman, Esq. Lomurro, Davison, Eastman, and Muoz, P.A.
