Answer: Police are trained to get as much info from you as possible to help their investigation. The more you talk, the more you help the police, who are not your friends. Be courteous to the cops, and don't volunteer extra info. Ask to speak to a lawyer first before answering questions like these.

Answer:These tests are not meant to be passed or failed, but to help the police build a stronger case against you. The tests ask you to do multiple things at once, and have flaws in them that a knowledgeable DUI attorney can expose and attack.

Answer: Blood, breath, and urine tests are the foundation of the State's DUI case. An experienced lawyer has substantial, detailed knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of these tests as evidence. All test results can be challenged and fought.

Answer: Your blood or breath alcohol concentration level (BAC) not only shows how intoxicated you might be, but what level of DUI you will be charged with. In most states, blowing over a .08 means you're DUI. In Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the BAC will determine the level of punishment if you are convicted.

Answer: If you were involved in a collision & someone other than yourself was injured, you could possibly be facing felony (instead of misdemeanor) DUI related charges and possible prison time. Accidents up the ante and should only be handled by a lawyer.

Answer: When the police question you, you have the right to request to speak to a lawyer before you answer any questions. If your request was refused or your request was ignored, make this known to your lawyer to include in your defense.

Answer: Once a police officer believes they have enough evidence and probable cause to believe you're driving under the influence, they must read you your "Miranda" rights before asking any incriminating questions. These are constitutional rights meant to protect your right not to incriminate yourself. If you weren't read your rights, make sure to let your DUI lawyer know to possibly aid your defense.
