North Haven, Connecticut, DWI/DUI Defense Lawyer
The old saying, "A person who represents himself has a fool for a client," holds true in DWI/DUI cases. Given the consequences of a DWI/DUI conviction — driver's license suspension, jail time, the loss of your good name, fines, expensive alcohol education classes and increased auto insurance rates — there are many reasons to hire a lawyer to represent you.
I am Christopher Duby, a DWI/DUI defense lawyer in North Haven. If you have been arrested for DWI/DUI, I offer a free initial consultation to discuss your case. I will explain the entire process to you and you have this opportunity to ask any questions about your case that you may have.
A typical DWI/DUI charge can end up costing you well over $10,000 when you consider the cost of fines, driver's license reinstatement fees and high-risk insurance. If you have a commercial driver's license, a drunk driving conviction can, in certain circumstances, mean the loss of your livelihood. Even after your driver's license is reinstated, the added insurance cost for a commercial driver may be unaffordable.
Many people have no choice but to fight a DWI/DUI conviction. And the only way to fight a conviction effectively is to hire an experienced attorney.

Connecticut alcohol education program
If you have not had a prior DWI conviction, you may apply for the Connecticut alcohol education program. The AEP is a diversionary program that allows you to avoid a DWI/DUI conviction if you complete a program of 10 or 15 sessions. You are given one year to complete the program and, if you do so without any future problems, you will have a clean record.
Only an attorney can advise you whether the AEP would be the best option for you, or whether you should fight the charges.
