Understanding DUI in Oregon
A DUI will complicate your life. It can be one of the most complicated types of criminal charges to handle in court. If you have been arrested for a DUI, it is important that you seek the assistance of a Corvallis DUI attorney immediately.
Because of the Implied Consent laws, often times a DUI arrest comes with a license suspension for:
- Failing the breath test
- Refusing to take a breath test
- Refusing to allow a blood draw
- Refusing to give a urine sample
Timing is crucial if you wish to contest your suspension. You should be aware that you have only 10 days to submit a request for a hearing on the Implied Consent driver’s license suspension. Absent the request for a hearing, the license suspension, in almost all cases, will take effect—even if you are acquitted of the DUI charge or your case is otherwise dismissed.
Am I Eligible for a DUI Diversion Program?
Depending on the circumstances of your situation and your prior DUI arrest record, you may be eligible for a DUI diversion. Successful completion of a DUI Diversion program will ultimately lead to dismissal of the DUI charge. At Jennifer I. Nash & Nicolas Ortiz, P.C., we can determine your eligibility and advise and counsel you about which options are available to you. Whether you are diversion eligible or not, our goal is to provide you with the necessary legal information for you to make an informed decision on how to proceed.
