It's essential to make sure that you hire an attorney as soon as you can to ensure that you have a proper defense from start to finish. Time is of the essence in building the right strategy for you.
DUI Defense Attorney
Dealing with DUI or alcohol charges can often be stressful, overwhelming and frightening. If it's your first DUI, you can face license revocation, significant fines or even jail time. If it's your second or third DUI, you could be facing a felony charge, a longer suspended license, even more fines, longer jail time or even prison. Oklahoma is a Zero-Tolerance state, meaning that if you're under the age of 21 and have any measurable amount of alcohol in your system, you could be charged with DUI and must have a breathalyzer in your car. Oklahoma also has a lookback period of ten years, meaning that if you have a previous DUI from less than ten years ago, you could be looking at being charged with a felony. The lawyers at Stockwell Law Group are ready to help.

Defending against possession or DUI charges can be overwhelming.

A first DUI may result in license revocation and fines; subsequent offenses escalate to potential felony charges, longer suspensions and even prison. Under 21?
