Trumbull DUI Defense

Trumbull DUI Defense Law Firm Focuses on Defending DUI Cases

Connecticut Criminal Defense Attorneys Represent Those Charged with DUI

The state of Connecticut has passed strong new measures to curb driving while under the influence (DUI) of drugs or alcohol. Severe penalties, including mandatory sentences and strict enforcement, seek to send a clear message to those who choose to drink and drive.

In Connecticut, operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a criminal offense that may be prosecuted with or without direct evidence of the driver's blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test, and anyone who drives with a BAC of .08 percent or higher can be charged with DUI, whether or not their driving ability was impaired.

Implied Consent

According to Connecticut law, all licensed drivers are considered to have given implied consent to submit to a chemical test to determine the amount of alcohol in their blood, and should a driver refuse to submit to the test, the penalties can be severe:

  • First offense – Six month license suspension
  • Second and third offense – One year license suspension

The Ramifications of Being Arrested for DUI

When you are arrested for DUI in Connecticut:

  • You will be detained by the police and read your rights
  • Your vehicle will be towed, at your expense
  • You will be transported to the police station
  • If your chemical test registers a BAC of .08 or higher, you will be presumed to have been operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. If you are under age 21, you are considered legally intoxicated with a BAC of .02 percent or higher.
