A conviction for driving under the influence (DUI) carries with it serious consequences and penalties. An individual charged with this offense should seek the counsel of an experienced Danbury DUI defense attorney immediately. At Yorio Law Group , we understand that the consequences of a DUI or DWI conviction can be devastating. Jail time, fines and the loss of driving privileges can impact your life in unfathomable ways. An experienced attorney can fight to ensure your rights weren’t violated while challenging your charge. A charge of DUI can be made based on circumstantial evidence, but the charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI) is made when law enforcement can actually show your blood alcohol content was above legal limits, currently .08. If you are younger than 21 years old, Connecticut has essentially a zero tolerance policy making the legal limit .02. Even so, there are serious questions that need to be addressed in your defense, including: •Was the initial traffic stop legal? •Was law enforcement within its rights to arrest you? •Was the field sobriety test performed correctly? •Was the Breathalyzer properly calibrated? •Was the officer properly trained in the machine’s operation?

We work quickly to investigate the factors surrounding your charge and challenge every aspect in order to get your offense reduced or dismissed altogether.
