Oregon Driving Under the Influence of Intoxicants Law

In common with many other States, a DUII arrest in Oregon will lead to two cases being brought against the defendant, a criminal case and a Department of Public Safety case. If you have been arrested for DUII in Oregon, you have only 15 days in order to apply for a hearing at the Department of Public Safety in order to retain your driver's license. It is therefore essential that you contact an Oregon DUII lawyer as soon as possible.

Charges for DUII in Oregon can be prosecuted either on the basis of Blood Alcohol Concentration, which is currently set at a maximum of 0.08% or through proving impairment through “field sobriety tests”, driving patterns or through the testing of breath, blood or urine. A skilled DUII lawyer will be able to handle each of these situations.

Oregon has some of the strictest, and most regularly enforced DUI laws in America, therefore it is vital that you get expert counsel from an Oregon DUII lawyer.
