The Alcohol version of this charge in Jackson County is one of the most heavily used and frequently received charges. Many people receive a Jackson County DUI who have never been in trouble. This charge is also the most inadequately represented charge in criminal law for clients. A Criminal Defense Attorney MUST have Proper training to assure that the client receives the representation for which they are not only looking but for which they are paying.

If handled improperly, this charge can affect your license, your criminal history, time spent in jail, community representation and many other issues with your life.

As mentioned earlier the most typical, and frequently used, version of this charge is alcohol. Officer's should have extensive training to properly investigate YOUR charge. A Criminal Defense Attorney should have the same training as the officers (or more) to properly represent YOU. This training assures proper representation for you and is another reason that YOU need a experienced Criminal Defense Attorney. Without experience and knowledge YOU will not be able to properly defend against a Jackson County Sheriff or officer who has not had the proper training and made errors in evaluating YOUR arrest.

Officers should have training under Standardized Field Sobriety Testing (SFST), or Advanced Roadside Impaired Driving Enforcement (ARIDE) or Drug Recognition Expert (DRE). These three different levels of training are provided to officers by the National Highway Traffic and Safety Administration that any investigation into DUI is done properly and assure that citizens are properly arrested. Prior to the involvement of the tests crafted by the NHTSA officers would have you recite the alphabet backwards, pick up coins off the floor and do many other tasks that were "unregulated" and not enforceable.

Whenever someone is arrested for a Jackson County DUI, the officer is required by law to arrest them and retain their drivers license. The officer then issues a DDS 1205 form. This form is the officers notice to You of the officers intention to suspend YOUR privileges to operate a motor vehicle. You must write a 30 day response letter to stop the suspension.
