SPEAK TO AN ATTORNEY TODAYDUI Charges in Tulsa
According to recent reports from the Oklahoma Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, the Tulsa County DUI rate is more than 20 times higher than the state average. This means that drivers are more likely to be stopped, arrested, and charged with a DUI in Tulsa than anywhere else in Oklahoma.
While getting drunk drivers off the roads is important, the fact is that there are plenty of otherwise innocent people who end up facing serious ramifications as the result of making a simple error in judgement. At BDIW Law, we represent those impacted by these types of charges. As experienced Tulsa DUI lawyers, we can help protect you against DUI penalties under the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Statutes (47 O.S. § 11-902). These include:
● For a first DUI offense: Fines up to $1,000 and/or imprisonment from between 10 days to one year;
● For a second DUI offense: Fines up to $2,500 and/or imprisonment from between one year and five years;
● For DUI related car accidents: Fines up to $5,000 and up to 10 years or more in prison.
Protecting You Against DUI Penalties
In addition to fines and a potential jail sentence, a conviction for DUI will also result in suspension of your driving privileges. If you fail to cooperate and refuse a breathalyzer or blood alcohol test, you face an automatic license suspension.
At BDIW Law, our Tulsa DUI lawyers defend you against these and other penalties. Ways in which we may be able to help you avoid a conviction include:
● Disputing the circumstances surrounding your traffic stop;
● Disputing the results of any breath or blood alcohol contact testing;
● Negotiating on your behalf with law enforcement and prosecutors, in an effort to get your charges dropped or reduced;
● Presenting evidence before a judge on why you should receive a more lenient sentence.
