Your Rights When Pulled Over
Should you find yourself lit up by the red and blue lights of a police cruiser, it's essential to know your rights. Firstly, you have the right to remain silent, meaning you don't have to answer questions about where you've been or whether you've consumed alcohol. You are also entitled to courteous and lawful treatment by the officers. Understanding these rights can be the difference between a conviction and a dismissal.
At John Goehrs, we believe in empowering individuals with knowledge. We provide clarity and support in comprehending the nuances of your rights during such stops. However, if your rights were compromised during your interaction with law enforcement, connecting with a seasoned lawyer through our services could be a key to your defense.
The Consequences of Refusal
States enforce an "implied consent" law, which means that by holding a driver's license, you've implicitly agreed to take a breathalyzer test if suspected of DUI. Refusing the test typically results in an automatic suspension of your driver's license. The length of the suspension can vary, and in some cases, you might be looking at fines or even time behind bars.
Our expertise lies in navigating these complex consequences. The exact penalties differ by state, but the theme remains consistent: refusal is not without repercussion. At John Goehrs, we ensure that our clients understand these potential outcomes. Your informed decision is crucial to creating an effective defense.
Defense Strategies for Breathalyzer Refusal
Every situation is unique, and the defense strategies for a breathalyzer test refusal are tailored to the specifics of your case. Key considerations might include the reason for your refusal or the legality of the traffic stop itself. Furthermore, your behavior and the officer's actions during the encounter could play a significant role in your defense.

Navigating Post-Refusal: John Goehrs is Your Path to Clarity and Support
Understanding the Implied Consent Law
It's called "implied consent" because it's a legal contract you enter into the moment you get your driving license. This aspect of the law is critical, as it forms the basis for many of the penalties associated with breathalyzer refusals. Our role is to help make sure you fully grasp what this means for you as a driver.
When you're at that crossroads, knowledge is power. At John Goehrs, we break down the legalese into easy-to-understand terms so that you can make decisions from a position of strength.
License Suspension and Reinstatement
Many times, refusing a breathalyzer results in license suspension. But a suspension isn't always the end of the road. Reinstatement options vary, and navigating them can be tricky. Some states require an administrative hearing, while others might allow for a conditional permit for getting to work or school.
Our expertise shines in guiding you through the process to get your driving privileges back. Remember, our consultants at John Goehrs are just a phone call away at (512) 413-9054. With us, you're never alone on this journey.
