Penalties for Kentucky DWI

While the legal limit for intoxication is .08% blood alcohol content, state DUI laws allow law enforcement to charge a motorist with driving under the influence in Kentucky even with a lower BAC. An arrest could be based on an officer's decision that you are impaired. The penalties for a first offense can include loss of license, fines, jail, community service and enrollment in an alcohol awareness program. If there were aggravating circumstances such as excessive speeding or an accident with injury, the fines and jail term could be increased. Being convicted of drunk driving in Covington will result in a criminal arrest record, which could hurt your ability to find or keep a job, open a credit account and, depending on the circumstances, vote.

Previous Case Results

Client involved in a single car accident, followed by an altercation with the police and hospital staff. Blood test reportedly was three times the legal limit. During thorough investigation, the defense found several weaknesses and errors in the case. Client was acquitted.

Client was a passenger when her brother was arrested for DWI. Client was under 21 and had been drinking. The police took her home but several hours later she drove to the police department to pick her brother up after he was processed for DWI. Client was stopped by the same officer who had arrested her brother, and her breath test result was well over the legal limit for a 21-year old driver. Defense filed a motion to suppress hearing and the court dismissed all charges. Mr. Suhre also prevailed during an appeal by the State.

Following a hit and run accident, client was arrested for driving under suspension, leaving the scene of an accident and felony DWI. During an investigation of the case it was determined that evidence had not been properly preserved. Mr. Suhre filed a motion to dismiss the felony DWI charge and the court granted the motion. The State appealed the decision to a higher court but, after reading transcripts of the hearings, the state's appellate attorney voluntarily ended the appeal and agreed to dismissal.

There are specific factual and legal circumstances unique to each client's case. The circumstances in your case may be different from the ones above. No representation is being made that the same or similar results can be obtained in your case.
