My husband refused a breathalyzer can he still be charged with DUI?

Answered 12 years and 8 months ago by Andrea Rogers (Unclaimed Profile)   |   10 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
Yes, he can still be charged with a DUI if he refused to take the breathalyzer. Your husband needs to hire an experienced DUI attorney to represent him. Since he didn't take the breathalyzer test, it will be difficult to prove he wasn't intoxicated.

Do I have a possible defense based on the theory that the alcohol hadn't had time to enter my blood system?

Answered 12 years and 11 months ago by attorney Laurie A. Schmidt   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
Your question cannot accurately be answered without a detail review of ALL facts and the entire police file from the incident. If you have a defense to the charges (which you may); the only way to assert that defense is to take the case to trial. Simply telling the prosecutor or DA that you have a defense and then explaining your defense does nothing more then tip your hand. The DA or prosecutor would not dismiss the charges based on the assertion of the defense. Even with that, you still must fight the DMV action which is separate from the court action.... Read More

Is this accurate, or pre-trial motions to suppress and for dismissal this filed with missing information all the time?

Answered 13 years and a month ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
You sometimes file motions like an Omnibus Motion to get the police report. If he had it he would have used it and made references to it, but he can file a supplemental motion should the report reveal additional information.

I was arrested for DUI 3 times but was never convicted can 4th DUI be treated more harshly?

Answered 13 years and a month ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
I doubt that you were never convicted of anything. My guess is that you were convicted of Impaired, or DWAI, a violation in New York and other states. Unless they could not prove you were driving you would not have been acquitted, but that is just my guess. If they were all violations you would still face bigger problems on a fourth arrest and the judge will likely give you a year on the misdemeanor if you are convicted. It is much safer, easier, cheaper, and smarter to take a taxi home if you are drunk.... Read More

A DUI causing bodily harm and a blood alcohol level over .17 would receive how much jail time?

Answered 13 years and a month ago by John J. Carney (Unclaimed Profile)   |   10 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
That is not a New York case since it is called vehicular assault and an aggravated DWI if over .18. In New York state the defendant would probably get several years in prison if he was drunk and seriously injured a person, but hat would defend on a number of factors.

Does the felony still show up on my records?

Answered 13 years and 2 months ago by Atty. Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: DUI/DWI
A ten or thirteen year old felony will almost certainly appear on the state court database, which you can check yourself on any computer connected to the internet. If a person is convicted of a felony, and not pardoned, owning or possessing a firearm is prohibited, and doing so would be a serious crime. There was once an office in the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms that was empowered to grant special permits for hunting to people who had been convicted of felonies, but I have been told that that office has been de-funded, and is now closed. Check with your congressperson's local office.... Read More
