The Fourth of July holiday is a great time to gather with family and friends to enjoy barbeques, parades and fireworks, and to celebrate America’s history and independence. Unfortunately, it is also an occasion when many people get arrested for Operating while Intoxicated (OWI) or Driving under the Influence (DUI). Each Fourth of July holiday, local law enforcement agencies increase patrols focusing on pulling over and arresting suspected OWI/DUI offenders. This year will be no different.
If you or someone you know is arrested for alleged OWI/ DUI it is important to consult an attorney as soon as possible to learn of any potential challenges to the stop or arrest. It is also very important to make sure you do not miss crucial deadlines which could make defending your OWI/DUI case much more difficult. In addition to learning of legal challenges, involving a lawyer immediately can make all the difference as to whether you are able to keep your operating privileges.
For more on important deadlines and other information regarding OWI/DUI cases please go to the home page of Jacob A. Manian and click the link on the left side for Criminal, and then open the page for OWI/DUI DRUNK DRIVING OR IMPAIRED DRIVING. Please have a safe and happy Fourth!
