"Don't enter a plea, before you talk to me." - Walter Hawkins
So you made a mistake, had a few drinks and got charged with Driving Under the Influence ("DUI"). Don't make another mistake by going to Court without a DUI attorney. There are many issues that can arise when you are charged with the crime of DUI. For example, did the officer have probable cause to stop your car and then charge you with DUI? What Standard Field Sobriety Tests were you asked to perform? Were the laws and regulations regarding the Intoxilyzer, or breath test, followed? If you have been charged with a DUI, you need a DUI attorney in Bowling Green and South Central Kentucky.

A DUI is a serious offense, and requires legal assistance. If you have been charged with DUI (Driving Under the Influence) or DWI (Driving While Intoxicated), the consequences can vary widely, and are often influenced by your age, blood alcohol content (BAC), previous charges, and if you caused injury or death. Hawkins Law Office can help you assess your legal situation, including the consequences you may be facing, the fines you may be required to pay, and the process you will have to go through. Whether you want to take your case to trial or allow us to negotiate a plea agreement with the prosecutor, the Hawkins Law Office stands ready to help.
What Must Be Proved For a DUI Conviction in Kentucky
In Kentucky, the prosecution will have to prove four things to convict you of a DUI: That you were 1) driving, 2) a motor vehicle 3) in Kentucky 4) while under the influence of alcohol or other substances. While these four things may sound simple, each one of these things are worth careful consideration in your case. For example, you may be charged with a DUI for being in "physical control" of a motor vehicle even if you are not driving. If you are driving a lawn mower while under the influence, that may qualify as a "motor vehicle". Finally, you can be charged with a DUI even if you took a legal prescription drug, although some prescription drugs are treated differently. So, in Kentucky, you could be charged with a DUI after taking your prescription medication and falling asleep behind the wheel of your running lawn mower.
