Tupelo DUI Lawyer-DWI Attorney

Ask any Tupelo DUI lawyer or DWI attorney: drunk driving happens every day. That one for the road at last call. Another shot on your birthday. Few people ever stop to consider the potential consequences of what a DUI or DWI defense entails.  Drunk driving is a very serious crime in Mississippi, and according to state law, anyone who operates a motor vehicle and:

has an alcohol concentration of eight one-hundredths percent (.08%) or more for persons who are  above the legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages under state law, or two one-hundredths percent (.02%) or more for persons who are below the legal age to purchase alcoholic beverages

can be considered to be driving under the influence, and in violation of the law.

The law is very clear in these cases, but the interpretation of the conditions that lead law enforcement and the legal system
to declare you a drunk driver are not. There are a variety of issues to every drunk driving arrest to be considered, and it takes a dedicated and experienced Tupelo DUI lawyer or DWI attorney to understand your case and help you make the best out of a difficult situation.

Time is of the essence. If you refuse to submit to a chemical test, which is your right in Mississippi, you only have ten calendar days after your arrest to file a test refusal petition after the mailing of the notice of letter of intent to suspend. If you do not take action before that time, you could lose your license for up to a year.
