Although a DUI carries heavy penalties in the state of Utah, that does not mean you will have to face all of the consequences if you are charged for a DUI. The key to fighting these charges is building a strong DUI defense and that starts with hiring an experienced DUI lawyer.
FREE ConsultationMost first time DUI offenders have made an honest mistake. Utah is one of the strictest states when it comes to DUIs. The BAC limit is only 0.5%, an extremely low percentage compared to the limits in other states. That means you could be charged with a DUI after drinking only one beer.

"I learned a lot by talking to this attorney."
When you were charged with a DUI you may not have been told that you have two major deadlines which are rapidly approaching after you are arrested for driving under the influence. If you ignore them, the consequences could be devastating.
If you don't request a driver's license hearing in the first 10 calendar days, you will lose your license, regardless of how good your case might be. And there's nothing an attorney can do about it after the fact.
The second deadline is to contact the court no less than 5, nor more than 14 days. If you miss this deadline, the court WILL issue a warrant for your arrest and officer may be sent to your home or place of employment to arrest you.
