Law Office of Sean G. Erenstoft

Drunk driving is the most common misdemeanor our society suffers. When you have been stopped for a D.U.I., you have rights that need to be protected. For one, your right to drive will be suspended unless you take immediate action to contact the Department of Motor Vehicles within ten (10) days of your arrest. This office will take efforts not only to keep you out of jail, but also help you regain your driving privilege. If you have been involved in an accident while under the influence, you have additional concerns about how your conviction of D.U.I. will affect future litigation against you for personal injury and property damage. This firm will helpyou navigate the criminal and civil consequences of your predicament.

“The One-Drink DUI”
DEBUNKING THE DUI MYTH: ONE DRINK IS ENOUGH

By:  Sean Erenstoft, Esq.

Don’t Drink and Drive, You Might Spill Your Drink

Who doesn’t drink and drive?  As a criminal defense attorney, I handle more DUIs in one year than all other crimes combined.  It’s not because I specialized in this area of law, it’s just the most common misdemeanor we suffer as a community.  

What most people don’t realize is that it takes only one drink to be DUI.  In its truest sense, a DUI is simply that, Driving Under the Influence.  The legal limit is .08% of alcohol by volume in your blood but, technically, you can be DUI with .01% if you are cited with driving wrecklessly with ANY amount of alcohol in your system.  Complete Story
