FAQ About DUI Arrests in Molalla, Oregon:

A common inquiry we receive at our firm pertains to the consequences of refusing a breath test. In Oregon, an “implied consent law” is in place, signifying that by driving a car, you automatically agree to undergo a breath, blood, or urine test if requested by a police officer. Refusing to blow carries penalties, primarily a fine, and may lead to a police officer obtaining a warrant for a blood or urine test. Furthermore, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can independently suspend your license for a duration ranging from 90 days to several years upon being notified of your refusal. It’s crucial to note that the DMV’s decision is distinct from the judgment made by the criminal court regarding the incident. If you choose Reynolds Defense Firm, we can advocate for you in both your DMV hearing (typically occurring first) and your court case hearing. For more information on the DMV hearing process, read our blog post on the subject.
