Utah has some of the strictest DUI laws in the US. These laws prohibit the operation of a vehicle with a blood alcohol of .05 or greater or with any metabolite drug in your body. DUI penalties vary from a Class B Misdemeanor to a Felony. Statutorily penalties for DUI can include mandatory jail time, heavy fines, a $350 impoundment fee, drug and alcohol testing, community service, revocation, restrictions, mandatory classes, counseling, probation, ignition interlock, and more.
Utah has severely restricted plea bargain latitude in DUI cases. Not all DUI cases are winnable but many are. The ones that can be won often prevail by a motion to suppress evidence. The burden of proof in a DUI case is quite high and procedures must be followed to a “T” in order for the prosecution to prevail. Any chink in this procedural chain of armor can lead to an instant dismissal or a lessening of charges. At The Law Office of Paul Grant we rely upon a proven defense strategy flow chart based on these potential procedural errors and supported by a databank of pre-drafted and proven briefs to support our motions to suppress. DUI defense is almost more of a science than an art to our Utah DUI criminal defense attorney team.
