Olathe, Kansas DUI and Drunk Driving Lawyer
A drunk driving arrest has long lasting consequences The law office of Michael J. Bartee, P.A. in Olathe, Kansas has defended clients in need of representation regarding the criminal and administrative aspects of a DUI.
Automatic Suspension of Your License
Many of those charged with DUI are not aware that their license can be automatically suspended if an administrative hearing with the Department of Motor Vehicles is not requested within 10 days after a breath/blood test refusal or failure. DUI attorney Michael J. Bartee helps clients preserve that right to drive while their case is being litigated.
At the law office of Michael J. Bartee, P.A., Mr. Bartee will represent you at the administrative hearing that will run on a track separate from your DUI prosecution. He will aggressively challenge the administrative process through the district courts if need be.
Representing You and Your Rights
Mr. Bartee will handle your DUI criminal matter with attention to detail. He will conduct a detailed investigation of the evidence against you. This means he will review the police reports to determine the probable cause for the initial traffic stop and evaluate the procedures and methods used in any field sobriety, breath, or chemical testing. Mr. Bartee also represents juveniles who registered a .02 or higher on the breathalyzer in preserving their right to drive while their case is going through the courts.
Consequences of a DUI Conviction
DUI laws are changing with the sentences becoming harsher seemingly every year. All DUI convictions result in a suspended driver's license. Even for a first conviction, there is a mandatory minimum jail sentence and fine, along with a mandated alcohol evaluation and treatment program. The sentences go up from there. If you are convicted of DUI for the third time, it is a felony with a substantial mandatory minimum sentence as well.
