Utah DUI Laws

Home/Practice Areas/DUI Attorney/Utah DUI Laws

In Utah, DUIs do not just pertain to alcohol consumption. Metabolite drugs, prescription medication and any other kind of controlled substance (cocaine, marijuana, etc.) can land you in trouble with the law if you are pulled over and found to be driving under the influence. This is true, even if you are legally consuming prescription medication that you received from a doctor or physician for legitimate reasons.

The bottom line is, if there is potential for a substance to make an individual drive in an unsafe manner, that person could face a criminal charge. At that point, secure representation from an attorney who knows Utah DUI laws and the most effective ways to defend against criminal consequences of them. The Law Offices of David Paul White and Associates can help.

Protecting Your Rights When You Have Been Pulled Over

Many people who are pulled for a DUI in Utah do not realize that they have rights to protect when engaging with law enforcement officers. Remember that officers immediately begin gathering information and evidence that could support a criminal charge. They are not seeking ways to prove you were not driving under the influence.

In Utah, while you are required by law to cooperate and take chemical tests that are requested of you (i.e., blood, breath or urine tests), you have the right to refuse to take a field sobriety test. This is crucial to helping defend you against criminal DUI charges. Utah is increasingly strict on DUI laws and the consequences of them, causing an individual who is convicted of a drug-related offense or DUI to lose his or her license automatically for an extended period of time.

Our office provides top-tier representation in these criminal matters, and can help you protect your driver’s license and your criminal record in difficult DUI charges and convictions.
