Legal Question in DUI Law in Connecticut

teen needs help

My son and his friends were driving around after sucking on nitrous balloons. They ended up crashing the car. My son passed a roadside sobriety tests after which he was arrested and taken to the hospital for a blood test. Two tests were performed 30 minutes apart.He was charged with a DWI and various minor violations- unsafe tires, failure to drive right etc.(3in all)

Questions: does he need a lawyer or the public defender?

What possible outcomes are there? Is it dependent on the results of the blood tests?

Re: teen needs help

First of all, you are taking a good first step in trying to get proper and qualified advice. The assistance of a qualified attorney is very important. The possibilities fall into two basic categories. Administrative and Judicial. The outcomes depend on various factors. Jail is even a possibility. There are however programs available to deal with situation properly. If handled properly, depending on the particulars, some cases are even appropriate for dismissal. However, more detailed information needs to be known. I would be happy to set up a consultation for you and your son without charge. Please feel free to contact my office. Thank You. Attorney Hisham A. Leil
