Kansas City DUI AttorneyDefending drunk driving and traffic offenses in eastern and central KansasIf you have been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) in the state of Kansas, there are two things you must do immediately: (1) Send in the form to the Department of Revenue within 10 days of your citation or arrest to request a hearing. (2) Contact an experienced Kansas DUI attorney (Bradley A. Peterson) to protect your rights! If you do not notify the Department of Revenue within 10 days, you may lose your ability to dispute your driver’s license suspension / revocation. There is almost nothing I can do for you if you fail to send in the form. I can file the form or you can send it in, but it must be in Topeka within the 10 days. In my criminal defense law practice, Bradley A. Peterson, Attorney at Law, I have provided effective representation to hundreds of people charged with drunk driving and other alcohol and traffic-related offenses. I serve clients in the greater Kansas City metro area (Kansas side), as well as clients throughout eastern and central Kansas. I also practice in criminal defense, Social Security disability and administrative law. People are arrested every day for driving under the influence (known in some areas as driving while intoxicated, or DWI). You may be embarrassed, but the potential consequences are too great to delay calling a DUI attorney. You might lose your driver’s license, serve jail time, pay steep fines and see your car insurance skyrocket. Even if it’s your first offense, you might lose your license for 270 days and spend two days or more in police custody (jail). If you are convicted of a second offense, jail time is a minimum of 5 days plus up to 90 days of house arrest. And every conviction within a certain period of time counts toward a severe restriction on your driving privileges -- up to 5 years of suspension. The penalties will depend on your particular circumstances. At the Department of Revenue hearing, I will get a chance to learn about the facts of your arrest and other details which could aid in your defense. NOTE: If you are under the age of 21, any alcohol in your system is considered a DUI in Kansas, even if your blood alcohol content is below the adult threshold of .08 percent. As a seasoned traffic offense and DUI lawyer familiar with all the pertaining laws in Kansas, I can represent you in any of the following legal issues: - Drunk driving / DUI (first or subsequent offenses)
- Reckless driving
- Speeding
- Driving after suspension of your license
- Driving without insurance
- Reinstatement of your driver’s license (including limited reinstatement for work, school, etc.)
