Driving Under the Influence (DUI) Defense

Jackson DUI Lawyer

In Mississippi, if you are stopped for impairment testing and refused the test, you face an automatic suspension of your license, which can last between 90 days to one year. An appeal from a suspension must be started right away, since you only have 10 business days to file once you are on notice of suspension. Do not hesitate to contact a criminal defense lawyer  with experience in challenging DUI-related suspensions.

Even if you cooperated with the testing procedure, you can still face a suspended license if your result exceeded the legal limit. Drinking and driving itself isn't a crime; you must be shown to be impaired. A conviction for DUI will go on your criminal record, so do not dismiss the importance of defending yourself in court the best that you can. You will certainly need to have an attorney who can assure that your rights are protected, and appeals from initial suspensions still need to be made immediately. Your lawyer can help you challenge roadside tests or breathalyzer results; reduce or dismiss charges; or seek creative resolutions such as conditional discharges, diversions, alternative sentences or plea bargains.
