Robert J. Smith P.C. – Experienced DUI Lawyer 
Eugene Oregon

Call (541) 345-7211 If You Need a Skilled DUI Lawyer

When you have been charged with a DUI, most people think that the case is open and shut and that they are going to have to lose their license and pay huge fines…to make matters worse, there is also the possibility of jail time and administrative license suspension by the Department of Motor Vehicles. However, you don’t have to give up---you may be able to successfully fight a DUI in Oregon if you have the right attorney and the right set of circumstances. Help is out there if you are willing to take the step and find it.

Drunk Driving Defense Attorney

An experienced drunk driving defense lawyer can challenge the constitutionality of the traffic stop that lead to your arrest, contest the intoxilyzer results being entered into evidence, and help you keep you license or minimize the impact a DUI has on your life by entering you into diversion programs in lieu of criminal charges. With the help of a lawyer as skilled as Robert J. Smith, you may also be able to successfully assert a drunk driving defense if:

  • You were subject to an Illegal Stop
  • The Police Lacked Probable Cause to Arrest You
  • The Arresting Office Compromised the Intoxilyzer Results
  • Improper Intoxication Tests
  • Other Procedural Errors made by the Arresting Officer

 

If You Have Been Stopped


If you have been stopped for a DUI, make sure that you stay polite and keep your head…being belligerent or aggressive toward the police officer will be one of the surest ways to prevent yourself from getting a break from the courts. Also, you have the option to call an attorney before you decide to take an intoxilyzer test or not. The detaining officer may not tell you this, but you have a right to do so under Oregon State law.

Whether or not you should take the intoxilyzer test depends on your driving record and whether it is your first offense. Be forewarned, refusing to take an intoxilyzer test can sometimes mean more serious consequences for license suspension is more serious than  necssary.
