Understanding Misdemeanor DUIs In Idaho
In Idaho, the legal limit for blood alcohol content is 0.08%. Exceeding this limit can lead to a misdemeanor DUI charge, even if it is your first offense. While a misdemeanor DUI is considered less severe than a felony, do not underestimate the potential consequences.
A first-time misdemeanor DUI offense can lead to numerous penalties, including:
- Up to six months in jail
- Multiple License Suspensions from separate entities
- Fines
- Probation
- Ignition Interlock Devices
- Alcohol evaluation and counseling
For those with subsequent offenses, the penalties increase significantly, potentially including longer jail terms, longer suspensions, and higher fines. It is vital to work with a skilled defense attorney to protect your rights when facing a misdemeanor DUI charge. With my extensive experience handling these cases in Lewiston and the surrounding areas, I am dedicated to defending your rights and working towards the best possible resolution.

What Is The Best Defense For A DUI?
The best defense for a DUI charge varies depending on the specifics of your case. Key strategies might include challenging the accuracy of the blood alcohol content testing, questioning the legality of the traffic stop or negotiating for reduced penalties. As your attorney, I will thoroughly investigate every aspect of your case to develop a tailored defense strategy. By leveraging every available legal avenue, I aim to secure a favorable outcome that minimizes the impact on your life.
