If you have been charged with a DUI in Omaha, having a lawyer on your side can help mitigate some of the potential consequences. Even a first-time DUI charge can have a very serious impact on your license, your ability to get to work, your criminal record and your day-to-day life if not handled correctly:
The experienced lawyers at Dornan Law Team can help you understand exactly how Nebraska DUI law applies to your specific situation, and your options for moving forward with your defense. The two factors that most heavily impact the penalties for a first-time DUI offense are your BAC content at the time of the DUI arrest, and whether you are able to receive a probationary or suspended sentence as opposed to the conviction sentence.
The main distinction here is whether you are going to spend time in jail as a result of your DUI arrest, and how long the revocation of your driver’s license will last. The DUI defense lawyers at Dornan Law Team will work towards getting your sentence suspended so that you can avoid time in jail and get your license fully restored as soon as possible..
When you are arrested for a DUI, there are actually two different elements to handle; there are the administrative (license-related) penalties which come from the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles. Then, if you are convicted in a criminal court, the court will impose additional penalties like fines, probation and jail time.
To most people, being charged for a DUI is overwhelming and scary. There are deadlines to appeal your license suspension, administrative hoops to jump through to get your ignition interlock device, and potential negotiations with a judge or prosecutor around the criminal charges. Having a lawyer on your side not only ensures you are working through the process correctly and without missing any deadlines, it also puts the experience, expertise and know-how of someone who has been through the process many times on your side.
At Dornan Law Team in Omaha, Nebraska, we understand that most people who get arrested for a DUI are not hardened criminals, rather people who made a simple mistake or were caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our attorneys will help you understand the legal process and guide you through it to the best possible outcome for your situation.
