Understanding the Law: Alcohol vs Drug DUI Consequences

Table of Contents [Show]

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense that can carry significant legal consequences. The subtleties that separate an alcohol DUI from a drug DUI may be complex, but understanding these differences is crucial in mounting an effective defense. At Baumann Law Office PLLC, we prioritize clarifying these distinctions to ensure that individuals are well-informed about their situation and the potential defenses available to them. Moreover, our experienced attorneys are ready to navigate the intricacies of DUI cases, providing top-notch legal support to our clients across the nation.

While both types of DUIs involve impairment behind the wheel, the legal implications and the methods for measuring impairment differ greatly. Alcohol DUI charges typically hinge on blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels, whereas drug DUIs involve proving impairment through other means, as there is no universally accepted standard similar to BAC for drugs. Thus, each case requires a unique approach, tailored to the specific type of substance involved.

Our commitment at Baumann Law Office PLLC is to equip our clients with the knowledge and legal prowess necessary to confront these charges. With our help, they can understand the nuances of their case and the strengths of their defense. Always remember that assistance is just a call away at (512) 868-1399 for any questions or to book an appointment.

Alcohol-related DUI charges typically revolve around the measurement of blood alcohol concentration (BAC), which is a quantifiable way to determine intoxication. In most states, a BAC of 0.08% is the legal limit for drivers. Our team helps clients understand the process of BAC testing and the potential inaccuracies in measurements that might be leveraged in their defense.

One of the cornerstones of our defense strategies often involves scrutinizing the methods used to test BAC. Factors such as calibration errors or incorrect administration can affect the results and may lead to a dismissal or reduction of charges.

For drug DUIs, the process of proving impairment is not as straightforward as measuring BAC for alcohol. Instead, it usually involves observations made by law enforcement, field sobriety tests, and sometimes drug recognition experts. Here at Baumann Law Office PLLC, we understand the complexities of such cases, and we meticulously examine every detail to develop the best defense strategy.

Considering the subjective nature of these assessments, our lawyers are skilled at challenging the reliability of the observations and tests that led to the drug DUI charges. Each case is treated with the utmost importance, ensuring no stone is left unturned when defending our clients.

  • Examining the conditions during the test administration
  • Questioning the subjective nature of the officer's observations
  • Exploring the possibility of medical conditions affecting results

The integrity of field sobriety tests is another aspect we scrutinize in both alcohol and drug DUI cases. Often, these tests can be unreliable due to various factors, including the environment in which they were conducted and the competence of the administering officer. We are experienced in pinpointing these weaknesses in the prosecution's case.

Enlisting the expertise of Baumann Law Office PLLC means having a dedicated team that tirelessly advocates for your rights. If you are facing DUI charges and need expert advice, don't hesitate to reach out to us at (512) 868-1399 today.

Our goal is to support our clients in moving past their charges with as little burden as possible.

The evidence against someone charged with a DUI can sometimes seem insurmountable. However, with the right legal expertise, the evidence can often be challenged. For instance, our attorneys diligently assess the validity of sobriety tests and whether proper protocols were followed. We also consider the training and qualifications of the individuals administering these tests.
