COVID is disrupting DUI Enforcement in Oklahoma -- and everywhere else
Police still have an obligation to enforce drunk and drugged driving laws and continue to do so.
We know bad things happen to good people. Whether you’re out watching the game with some friends or having a couple of glasses of wine with dinner, a DUI can happen to anyone. It is important to remember a DUI arrest does not make you a bad person, but it can have substantial implications which is why it is important you hire us. We understand how traumatizing an arrest, mugshot, and a night in jail can be and we are here to help.
There are many kinds of drinking and driving offenses including:
Penalties increase in severity based on on the nature of the charge and the degree to which you were intoxicated.
A DUI arrest does not mean an automatic conviction, license revocation, or punishment. The Tulsa DUI Guys will analyze every detail of your DUI case to minimize the impact it will have on you and your life.
We utilize our extensive experience as former prosecutors to analyze what happened when you were pulled over and arrested and whether your rights were violated. Generally, here are some of the things we look for:
It can be. You need to contact our office to make sure you don't forfeit your right to contest the automatic revocation of your license. See our page on Driver's Licenses for more information.
Maybe. If your driver license was seized and it was valid and unexpired at the time, the officer will indicate on your copy of the affidavit that the affidavit will serve as a temporary driver license for a period of thirty (30) days. This temporary license authorizes you to drive for thirty (30) calendar days from the date the officer serves you with the affidavit, provided you are not suspended or revoked for some other reason. DPS will try to revoke your license and if you do nothing, they will. We always request a hearing on behalf of our client's and contest the revocation. If we win, which we generally do, you won't lose your license at all.
In Oklahoma, if you are under 21 and you register a BAC of .02 or greater, you can be charged with an underage DUI. An underage DUI can result in a revocation of your drivers license, community service, and fines. If you are under 21 and your BAC is greater than .08, you will mostly likely be charged with a standard DUI.
