Do You Need a Tualatin DUI Attorney?

When you’re facing a specific issue, would you prefer to work with a company that does a little bit of everything or one that focuses on solving your exact problem? The same applies to DUI cases. If you or someone close to you is dealing with a DUI charge, you have a decision to make—work with a general practice firm or choose one that specializes exclusively in DUI defense, ensuring you receive the best possible representation. That’s what we do every day at Reynolds Defense Firm, and we excel at it.

In addition to expertise in DUI defense, local knowledge is crucial. A skilled Tualatin DUI attorney doesn’t just understand DUI law thoroughly—they are also well-versed in the local court process. This means they know how the local prosecutor’s office operates and what to expect from the judges. This local experience helps make the legal process more predictable and can even improve your outcome. Additionally, when one of our Tualatin DUI lawyers stands beside you in court, it shows that you’re serious about your defense and that we have put our faith in you.

FAQ about DUI arrests in Tualatin:

A common question we hear is, “What happens if I refused the breath test?” In Oregon, the Implied Consent law comes into play. This law essentially means that by driving in the state, you automatically agree to take a breath, blood, or urine test if requested by a police officer. If you refuse or fail one of these tests, the DMV can take steps to suspend your driver’s license. The length of the suspension varies depending on the situation, however refusing the test results in a longer proposed suspension than failing it. There is a process to challenge the suspension, and we encourage you to do so. However, it is important to keep in mind that the DMV’s decision is entirely separate from the criminal court’s ruling on your DUI case. In short, if you refuse a breath test during a DUI arrest, both the DMV and the court can impact your driving privileges. For more information on requesting a DMV hearing, click here.
