Things You Should Know About Mississippi DUI Arrests
If you go for a drive and you drink at all, there is a chance you could be pulled over for drunk driving. You do not have to have to be actually impaired to be arrested for DUI.
Basically, a DUI arrest boils down to two things: The traffic stop and the field sobriety test. It may seem simple, but police officers have a very specific set of guidelines and procedures they must follow in order to make a valid stop and arrest for DUI. If the rules are broken, the case against you may be thrown out.

The first thing we look at in any DUI arrest is the initial traffic stop. Was there just cause to pull you over in the first place? If the arresting officer did not have a valid reason to stop you, everything that followed can be challenged, including breath and blood alcohol level test evidence. While we are challenging every aspect of your traffic stop and DUI arrest, we will also work to keep you on the road by fighting administrative license suspension.
At the time of a DUI arrest, many people think that because the officers took their physical license, their right to drive has been suspended. This is not the case. Depending on the circumstances of your arrest, you may have between 30 and 45 days before a license suspension takes effect. With a duplicate license, you will still be able to drive, cash checks and do the other things that require a valid driver's license during that time.
You need an aggressive lawyer who will leave no stone unturned in your defense. You need an advocate who will fight for your rights and for your license. Call the law offices of R. Wayne Woodall, P.A., in Gulfport at 228-868-5423 or contact us by e-mail now. All messages and e-mails are returned promptly. Your initial consultation will be free.
