Laws concerning drunk driving are intensifying as the high rate of DUI / DWI arrests continues to grow. It is important to know the consequences that you may face as a result of a DUI / DWI arrest. At Addis, Greenberg & Schultz, L.L.C., you will find more than lawyers with decades of experience. You will find creative and innovative attorneys who are constantly updating their strategies to adapt to the changes within the law.
One of the many new changes soon to be in effect is the requirement to use a Breath Alcohol Ignition Interlock Device (BAIID) if convicted of a DUI / DWI. The BAIID is a installed tool that would prohibit a driver from operating a vehicle while under the influence. The BAIID requires the driver to give a breath sample before the vehicle can even be turned on.
Over the past decade, many DUI / DWI offenders have been ordered to install a BAIID in their automobile. Most of these past cases had primarily involved repeat offenders.
Effective January 1, 2009, it is required that any first time DUI / DWI offender install the BAIID system into their vehicle. The system, in total, could cost more than $1,000. It is important that you know your rights and understand the full consequences of driving with a BAIID device.
Since the law is changing, it is imperative to know a lawyer who fully comprehends these (and other) new requirements. The lawyers at Addis, Greenberg & Schultz, L.L.C. understand all DUI laws, and know how they can impact drivers' lives.
