Criminal Defense: DUI
DUI Defense Attorney
Defending People Facing DUI Charges in Hawaii
No Small Matter
A DUI offense is no small matter. If convicted, you are facing jail time, license revocation, fines, ignition interlock installation, community service, and having to make arrangements to have other person’s drive you to work. Driving on a DUI license revocation can result in jail, additional license revocation or loss of license altogether. Refusing a breath test is now charged as a traffic crime. Prosecutors will charge DUI’s if there is evidence of impairment affecting driving from alcohol, marijuana, other drugs or prescription pills. Habitually operating a motor vehicle (three prior DUI convictions within 10 years) while under the influence of a intoxicant is a class C felony, in which a person can face up to five years in a state prison.

DUI Penalties and Consequences
A DUI conviction can create a serious situation with regard to future employment; any prospective employer may search your criminal record and a DUI conviction can result in someone else getting the job you are hoping for. When you have several DUI convictions on your record, the situation becomes even more serious; not only are the fines and penalties increased, the other damages become of real concern.

ADLRO Hearings
Administrative Drivers License Revocation Office is the state agency that determines whether a person’s license will be revoked or suspended, whether a person must install an ignition interlock, as well as what a driver must do to get their license reinstated. I represent clients in front of the ADLRO hearings officer, in addition to the criminal court proceedings, to help my clients get a revocation reversed or reduced, to navigate the Ignition interlock law, and to resolve Hawaii traffic violations so that my clients can get their licenses reinstated.
