Frequently asked questions
Yes — Utah has the strictest per se BAC limit in the country at .05, not the .08 used almost everywhere else. Drivers who would be legal in a neighboring state can be charged in Utah, which makes evidence review especially important.
The Driver License Division starts a 120-day administrative suspension that runs separately from the criminal case, and you have only 10 days from arrest to request a hearing to contest it. That deadline is the first reason to talk to an attorney immediately.
Because no honest quote exists before an attorney reviews the stop, the testing, and your record. A Utah DUI is a criminal case where the right strategy depends entirely on the evidence — so it starts with a consultation, not a checkout page.
Sometimes — reductions to impaired driving or other outcomes depend on the legality of the stop, breath or blood test procedures, and your history. An attorney has to evaluate those facts before anyone can say what's realistic.
