Aggressively Fight Your DUI Case

Why you should aggressively fight your DUI case.

There are many reasons for you to aggressively fight your DUI case beginning with:

DUI cases can be won. Being arrested and charged with DUI is very stressful and the uncertainty of the matter can be overwhelming but you do have rights and it is critical that you contact a Portland DUI lawyer as soon as you possibly can to aggressively defend your constitutional rights. The Law Office of Donald J. Molnar is well-versed in DUI cases and is dedicated to protecting clients against the harshest DUI penalties.
The consequences of DUI conviction can be devastating. With the aggressive lobbying of organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving as well as opportunistic politicians worried about being relected, , our DUI laws and penalties become more draconian each year. The Oregon State Legislature has decided minimum punishments for DUI offenders, taking away discretion from our trial court judges. The penalties are often more severe than convictions for violent offenses and can tarnish you with a criminal record for life. Mandatory jail time, community service, lengthy license suspensions, expensive alcohol treatment are just some of the enhanced penalties that trial court judges are required to impose on DUI cases. With so much at stake, you should seriously consider taking your case to trial a nd getting the case dismissed.
The state cannot dismiss your case pursuant to a plea agreement. The Oregon state legislature typically does not limit the authority of local prosecuting offices to engage in plea negotiations. Not so with DUI cases. Under Oregon law, a person charged with DUI is not allowed to plead guilty to another offense in exchange for a dismissal of the DUI. What incentive is there for negotiation when you must plead guilty to the DUI and be subject to state mandated penalties? You should not give the State a free pass when you have the right to a jury trial. Remember, the prosecutor must convince all jurors of your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Prosecutors get lazy and assume they will win your DUI case. Catch them ill-prepared and you're on your way to victory.
The police are wrong about s igns of impairment and conduct tests wrong. People are arrested and charged with DUI based on the opinion of a police officer. The police are trained to look for certain indicators of impairment (i.e. bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, etc.) and always put these symptoms in their police reports even though they may not exist in your case. Even if these symptoms are present, there are usually alternative explanations for these conditions other than drunkenness. Police officers also frequently fail to conduct field sobriety tests in compliance with state and federal guidelines. If these tests are not conducted properly, they cannot be used to show intoxication.
You Are Not Guilty!
