It is important to hire an attorney with years of experience in handling DUI cases. DUI is a very complicated field of law, and not just any attorney can do it. You wouldn’t go to your family doctor to have complicated surgery, would you? Like medicine, different aspects of law require very specialized skill sets.

In Milton, it is illegal for a driver over the age of 21 to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher. However, if you tested over this legal limit, it doesn’t necessarily mean that you are guilty. Breath testing machines are notorious for giving false readings – or being incorrectly calibrated. It takes an experienced attorney to explore the circumstances that led to your DUI arrest. Mr. Zeliff is knowledgeable in breathalyzer operation and has successfully exposed their weaknesses and problems to defend his clients.

The legal penalties of a DUI conviction can be life altering. Even if this is your first offense, you may be ordered to spend up to one year in jail, as well as probation. Imagine having to explain that to your employer. Your license will also be suspended for up to one year, and you will pay expensive fines.

If you were arrested in Milton while transporting a minor or your BAC was excessively high, you will face even greater consequences, such as longer mandatory periods of jail time and increases fines.

Attorney Zeliff is ready to help you during this stressful time. If you hire him, you know that you have years of knowledge and experience on your side.
