Sandy, Utah DUI Attorney
There is a stigma often attached to people who get arrested for drunk driving. The reality is though it happens to all types of people -- rich doctors, hard working construction workers, old men, young women, getting behind the wheel does not require any special qualification. For most people it was a mistake, and they understand this and learn from it. Unfortunately, the consequences of the DUI arrest are far reaching and even if someone has learned their lesson it does not necessarily mean it won't change their life in other ways. It is important if you have been arrested for a DUI offense that you contact an attorney who will make sure your future is protected. At the Law Offices of H. Delbert Welker we have been protecting clients' futures in the Salt Lake City, Utah area for over 30 years.
It is important to act fast
In the small print on the DUI citation is a statement telling the cited party that they have 10 days to request a hearing or their license will be automatically suspended for 90 days. A lot of people miss this, and as a result they lose their privileges to drive -- even if they win their court case. This is why it is important if you have been arrested to contact our DUI lawyer immediately. We will assist you in making an immediate appointment to comply with the hearing request so that you do not have your license suspended.
How we help
Typically, there are a number of complications our DWI attorney assists clients with. Usually... especially for first offenses, the court or prosecutors office will make a deal, something that usually involves a suspended jail sentence, probation and counseling. We assist clients in this process, making sure the deal is just and fair for them and that it makes sense. If a client comes into our office with a 2nd or 3rd DUI offense, we will assist them in the complicated legal process and help them avoid the more severe penalties usually given as a result.
Another item our DUI lawyer assists with is in the investigation of possible trial defenses such as proof that the client was behind the wheel and had actual control of the vehicle. We look into field sobriety tests and breathalyzer/intoxalyzer tests to determine if the machine was operated properly or is defective.
