DUI with Injury Lawyer in Salt Lake City

Under state law, even if a driver only had a sip of a drink, a police officer may consider him or her impaired.   So any information your give or explanation you try to make will be used against you.   The officer is only interested in making an arrest.   Conviction of a felony or misdemeanor DUI charge carries severe penalties which includes fines, community service, possibly an ignition interlock device, and jail or prison time depending upon the circumstances.   A motor vehicle accident involving alcohol which results in injury to another can result in a DUI felony charge.   Do not try to deal with the charges yourself.  Our legal defense team has been very successful in investigating and finding flaws in the procedures used by the police and getting DUI charges dropped or reduced.  

Mounting a defense for an auto accident, which does not involve DUI charges, is a simpler matter and does not have as serious an effect on your future.   With over 50 years of combined experience defending clients from DUI and DUI felony charges, we understand how upsetting these situations are.   We have the knowledge to prepare a compelling defense strategy.   Contact Zabriskie Law firm for a consultation with an experienced criminal defense lawyer to advise you how our legal team will approach the defense of your case.
