DUI Advice

If you are stopped by a police officer and he asks you if you’ve been drinking, what should you say?  You are not required to answer potentially incriminating questions. A polite “I would like to speak with an attorney before I answer any questions” is a good reply. On the other hand, saying that you had one or two beers is not incriminating: it is not sufficient to cause intoxication — and it may explain the odor of alcohol on the breath.

In most states, if someone is arrested for DUI, DWI, OUI, OWI, drunk driving, or a related charge, they are required to provide a sample of their blood or breath for testing for alcohol content. If someone arrested for DUI or DWI has refused the test, it does prevent the prosecution from introducing evidence of blood alcohol level.

However, the collateral consequences are potentially severe. Unfortunately, in most states, a person arrested for driving under the influence does not have the right to consult with an attorney and DUI advice before deciding whether to give a sample of their blood or breath, or deciding what type of sample to give.
