Concerned About DUI Penalties You Are Facing?
Drinking and driving penalties in Utah are harsh and include having a suspended license, revoked license, fines and jail time. Not to mention requiring an ignition interlock system on your vehicle and a permanent criminal record. Just one DUI (driving under the influence)/DWI (driving while impaired) charge could mean having to disclose your criminal history to potential employers for the rest of your life. The negative impact this has on your career and future is devastating. Do not take chances by hiring an inexperienced attorney or brand-new associate.
