Fairfield County DUI Defense

Connecticut Criminal Defense Attorney Represents Clients Charged with DUI

Fairfield County, Connecticut Criminal Defense Law Firm Will Advocate For You

DUI law in Connecticut relates primarily to two statutes, CGS §§ 14-227a and -227b:

  • CGS §§ 14-227a prohibits a person from driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or from driving with an "elevated" blood alcohol content (BAC). The maximum allowable BAC depends on the driver's age and the type of vehicle he is driving.
  • Under CGS §§ 14-227b, Connecticut motorists give implied consent to be tested for drugs or alcohol when they drive a motor vehicle. Drivers face administrative license suspension when they refuse to submit to a test or whose test results reveal an elevated BAC.

Drivers over age 21 have an elevated BAC if it is .08 percent or more, while drivers of commercial vehicles have an elevated BAC if it is .04 percent or more, and those under 21 are over the legal limit if their BAC is found to be .02 percent or more. Criminal penalties for DUI in Connecticut may include fines, jail or prison terms, and license suspensions.

The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is required by law to impose a 45-day license suspension for drivers age 21 or older convicted of DUI, and once their licenses are reinstated, they can only drive vehicles equipped with ignition interlock devices for specified lengths of time.
