Protect Your License. Call (330) 752-4035!

Have you or someone you know been arrested for a drunk driving offense? Hartwig Law, LLC is proud to represent individuals who have been arrested for driving under the influence (DUI) in the area. Whether you have failed a Standardized Field Sobriety Test, refused to take a chemical test which resulted in the suspension of your license, or were charged with a DUI, our defense attorney stands ready to make sure your rights are protected.

Working with our firm means you have personal and direct access to an uncompromising team that is ready to fight to defend your side of the story.

What Will Happen to My License?

Depending on certain factors, including your location and prior history, your driver’s license could be suspended immediately after an arrest. It will likely be suspended until your administrative license hearing, which is your chance to help reverse the suspension. We utilize effective defense strategies that help our clients avoid serious consequences, including the automatic and sometimes irreversible revocation of driving privileges.

Questions About Your Rights?

  • Is there a legal limit for DUI?

    Answer:

    Yes. In most states, you are considered to be “under the influence” if your blood alcohol content is .08% or higher. The legal limit can be even lower for individuals who utilize a commercial driver’s license or individuals who are under the legal drinking age (minors).

  • What if I rely on my license for my job?

    Answer:

    A DUI arrest or conviction can be incredibly serious for drivers who rely on their license for work-related duties. Though the best advice for commercial drivers is to never drink while driving, we understand that even the smallest mistake could jeopardize your future. To prevent a revocation or suspension of your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), you must speak with an attorney immediately.

  • Will a failed sobriety test mean that I am convicted?

    Answer:

    Absolutely not. Some tests can be re-tested, such as blood tests, and the results from any roadside breath tests or field sobriety tests can always be challenged. Police officers are required to follow a certain protocol when issuing these tests, and an attorney can help determine if any steps in the protocol were broken or violated. Even if the evidence against you seems incriminating, you must talk with a lawyer who can help determine which steps to take in your case.

  • Do I have to perform a breath test?

    Answer:

    Nearly every state in the U.S. implements Implied Consent Laws. This essentially means that all legally licensed drivers will be required to take and complete a blood, breath, or chemical test when asked by a law enforcement officer. Drivers must cooperate with enforcement if they are asked to take a test in order to determine the Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) level. Failure to complete the test could be used as evidence against you, should the case continue to trial.
