Initially, the following comments concerning your case are offered by two of the best-known drunk driving defense attorneys in the country:

"I must have been intoxicated: Maybe I should just plead guilty?"
A noted Atlanta DUI lawyer, William C. Head, has written an article entitled "5 Myths About Defending Accused Drunk Drivers" which answers common fallacies about DWI defense today:

  • DUI is a minor offense
  • Most people accused of drunk driving are guilty
  • DUI cases are no different than any other criminal case
  • Any lawyer can defend you against DUI
  • DWI cases just can’t be won

"What should I do if I’m ever stopped for DUI?"
California DUI attorney Lawrence Taylor (with law offices in Las Vegas) is one of the foremost authorities in the country. The author of the standard textbook Drunk Driving Defense, he offers the following 5 tips:

  • Decline (politely) to answer any of the officer’s questions: only incriminating answers will appear in the police reports.
  • Refuse to submit to DUI field sobriety testing: they are designed for failure and are not legally required.
  • Decline to take a pre-arrest breath test in the field: they are notoriously inaccurate and not legally required.
  • Agree to take a legally-required "evidentiary" breath test (or blood test if you are confident you are under .08%): if you don’t, they can force a blood draw and still penalize you for refusing.
  • Make sure you or, preferably, you Las Vegas DUI lawyer contacts the DMV within 7 days to request a license suspension hearing: if you don’t, you will lose your right to contest the license suspension.

LAS VEGAS DUI: A DRUNK DRIVING LAW GUIDE is offered as a counterweight to the political pressures of extremist groups such as MADD designed to win the passage of unfair laws and penalties, further erode our constitutional rights and eventually gain the return of Prohibition. The National Motorists Association presents its views on such controversial DUI issues as overly harsh criminal penalties, unconstitutional roadblocks and automatic license suspensions. Responsibility in DUI Laws, Inc., offers similar arguments aimed at reforming harsh and misdirected drunk driving laws.
