DWI/DUI Arrests in Connecticut

Are you or a loved one facing a DUI or DWI arrest? Facing a license suspension?

Someone may be driving in a big city like Hartford or New Haven, or on the backroads of Avon or Glastonbury. Very quickly, they may be pulled over, face a Breathalyzer, and be arrested for DUI or DWI, known in Connecticut as Operating Under the Influence (OUI).

It would be a mistake to think that a DUI/DWI case is not serious or is simple. First, DUI/DWI convictions can carry minimum prison sentences. These cases raise numerous issues including the potential for a license suspension by the DMV, especially with a commercial driver’s license (CDL), or the complications that may come with mixing prescription drugs with driving. A skilled attorney can spot problems with the blood alcohol content (BAC) test that was performed. For some, it may be possible to have the case dismissed and erased through a court program.
