Reach out to us today for a consultation with our skilled criminal defense lawyers.
What Constitutes a DUI in Montgomery County?
It is against the law for a person to operate a motor vehicle while:
- Under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or a combination; or
- The person has a blood alcohol concentration level of .08 percent or above.
This means that a person can be charged with a DUI even if their BAC is less than .08 percent. Proof of BAC makes a conviction easier to secure for the prosecution, but it is not required.
Penalties for a DUI Offense
The extent and severity of penalty that a party charged with a DUI offense will face depends on whether or not the crime is a first-time offense, the amount of alcohol in the blood, and whether or not there were any other factors that make the crime more serious, such as a minor in the vehicle at the time of impairment, or the intoxicated person causing a crash with property damage or bodily injury. Penalties may also differ if the person refused to submit to a chemical test of their blood alcohol content when requested to do so by an officer.
For a first-time DUI offense, jail time is rare, but it is possible, and the offender may be looking at a jail period of up to six months. While it is also unlikely that the party will be ordered to have an interlock ignition device installed on their vehicle, there will be a mandatory license suspension period imposed. The party will also face a fine, and may be required to attend alcohol education or rehabilitation classes as well. Of course, the offense will appear on the person’s permanent record, which can make obtaining employment more difficult in the future.

I couldn't be happier with the outcome of my case. From the first time I met with my team to our last interaction, I always felt like I wasn't a number or a case, I was a person. The whole team was professional, responsive to my calls and concerns, and fought for the outcome I deserved. They even sent me an Ele cupcake for my birthday. I recommend this firm to everyone I know and will return if I ever need services in the future!
Hannah
I am giving this firm a five-star rating for two reasons. First is the professional way in which I was treated. Every person I spoke with at this firm was professional and extremely courteous. I felt as though I was being treated as a natural person and NOT just a client. In many professional settings, clients are treated as such clients. Therefore they are held at arm's length. This gives off the impression a client is just a number, and there is a coldness and sterility to the service. I was NOT treated in this manner at the Vannoy Firm.…

Anthony VanNoy is an absolutely top-notch attorney. From start to finish, my case was handled with empathy, efficiency, and utter professionalism. The outcome was better than I'd dared to hope for and I cannot recommend him or his firm highly enough.

I first want to thank the staff and the company itself I work with Brittany and Patricia and it was so smooth on my end they took care of everything. They had no problem working with me even when I live the incident happened in a different state. Very very professional in my eyes and my family’s.
Diana
Keara Dever took the initiative to advocate for me in my very difficult situation. When no one else would listen to me, she did. She was very supportive and understanding and I am very appreciative for her services. She went above and beyond what I would have ever expected. Thank you so much Mrs. Dever. And by the way, she is AWESOME!!! Carl. M
Shavonne
Great experience and I would recommend to anyone in need of counsel for any civil/ Legal matter. They have people that specialized in certain areas and they can give you information or tell you which way you need to go with the case. I had a great experience and my friend called last week and the same professional help was given! Call them you won't be sorry!
