DUI Arrest

Published during the Vernal Equinox by Rich King.

If you are arrested for a DUI, you should immediately do the following:

Take the DUI charge seriously. If you are convicted, a DUI charge will follow you for the rest of your life. In Utah, DUI is an enhanced crime, which has serious implications for your future. If you are convicted, your automobile insurance premiums will almost always be increased and your increased insurance could cost you thousands of dollars.

Hire an attorney immediately. DUI law is complex and you need a good criminal defense attorney who will immediately implement an aggressive defense and take full advantage of your constitutional rights. Otherwise, evidence may disappear, witnesses may become unavailable, and memories fade.

Comply with all driver license laws. If you fail to comply with driver license laws, you could lose your privilege to drive a vehicle. Do not drive if your driver license is suspended. If your license is suspended, do not drive until you obtain a reinstatement from the Driver License Division.

Make sure you appear in Court. If you fail to appear in Court as required by your citation, the Court will issue a bench warrant for your arrest and revoke your bond. A police officer can then arrest and jail you until you post another bond securing your future appearances.

Talk only to your attorney about your case. If you talk to anyone other than your attorney, the prosecution can use anything you say against you. Don't waste your time calling a number of attorneys trying to get free advice over the telephone. As in anything else, you will get what you pay for. Hire one criminal defense attorney without delay, and work with your attorney in your defense.
