Driving under the influence (DUI) with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% or more is considered a crime under Oklahoma DUI law, and there are several circumstances that can aggravate your conviction: the type of vehicle, if you have already had a DUI conviction before, if you are near school areas or have children in the car, and others.

In Oklahoma, the penalties for driving in a dui case are severe starting from the first incident. Whether you fail blood tests or a chemical test, a first dui charge can result in 10 days to one year in jail, a fine of up to $ 1000 and a driver’s license suspension for 6 months.

If you are accused of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you should not plead guilty before consulting with a dui defense lawyer – a dui charge is very serious, and you could be accepting penalties greater than those that actually apply. Even though it appears to be a white collar crime, a dui defense may be best performed by a criminal defense attorney who goes to court to represent clients in similar cases, instead of a civil attorney more familiar with cases like child custody.

Make sure your dui lawyers have passed the American bar test, practice criminal law regularly, and have a good lawyer rating.

Defense lawyers with experience in criminal law and dui cases will be able to support you step by step through the legal process, to make sure you get the smallest possible sanction and avoid a long, expensive and complicated trial.
