It is OK to decline taking field sobriety tests, but you should not decline the breath test or other chemical tests. Refusing to take a chemical test may result in an automatic license suspension, possible revocation and a fine of at least $500. Schedule a hearing at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) right away. This is your chance to defend your driving privileges, and one of our attorneys can represent you at this hearing. We will work to help you protect your license and obtain a conditional license if necessary. It might be wise to enroll in an alcohol or drug treatment program prior to your arraignment or first court date. If you take self-responsibility prior to your criminal trial, the prosecutor may reduce the charges and penalties you face. Protect your reputation, your job and your future!
