DUI Defense
With regard to DUI (“drunk driving”), a variety of issues may apply to a case (your case) that may ultimately effect the outcome. Some potential issues include speedy trial violation (a violation of your right to a speedy trial pursuant to the Constitution), absence of certification for devices used in testing your blood alcohol content, or an illegal stop of your vehicle (just to name a few possible issues). Montana law requires you to submit to request to test your blood alcohol content, upon request of a law enforement officer. Currently, refusal to submit to such alcohol breath (or blood) test will likely result in the revocation/suspension of your license for a minimum of six months. The consequences will additionally effect a case against you (criminally) for DUI. Please call Mathew Stevenson (721-7000) for more information – or to request a consultation.
