Frequently asked questions
Alaska's statute — AS 28.35.030 — is titled operating under the influence (OUI), though nearly everyone calls it DUI. Either label means the same charge: operating with a BAC of .08 or while impaired.
Immediately. The Alaska DMV starts an administrative license revocation separate from the criminal case, and the window to request a hearing is only days. An attorney needs to be involved before that deadline passes.
Because the right strategy is unknowable until an attorney reviews the stop, the breath or blood testing, and your history. That's why DUI cases start with a consultation — we connect you with a licensed Alaska attorney who evaluates your case before anything is quoted.
Alaska imposes mandatory minimums — at least 72 hours of jail, a $1,500 minimum fine, and a 90-day revocation on a first conviction. That rigidity is exactly why avoiding the conviction, where the facts allow it, is worth serious defense work.
Outcomes depend on the legality of the stop, testing procedure, and calibration records. Where the evidence has problems, reductions or dismissals happen — but only a case-specific review can say whether yours is such a case.
