Facing a Driving While Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (“DUI”); Driving While Impaired (“DWI”); or Being in Actual Physical Control while under the Influence (“APC”) is a daunting obstacle to overcome in Oklahoma. When charged with a DUI or DWI you are facing the potential of jail time, lost employment opportunities, substantial probation and court costs, as well as the potential loss of your driving privilege, that’s right, driving is a privilege, not a right. All this is to say, it is essential that you obtain competent and zealous representation as soon as you are arrested on suspicion of a motor vehicle or other offense involving operating, while intoxicated, i.e. DUI, DWI, or APC. One key to the expediency of retaining counsel in a DUI, DWI, or APC case that is not at issue in other criminal charges is the very limited time window you have to seek a modified driver’s license or a contested hearing with the Department of Public Safety (“DPS”) before your license is revoked.

The criminal defense lawyers at Cannon & Associates have the necessary experience and knowledge to take on your case and fight for a favorable outcome. Our founder John Cannon is a member of the Oklahoma county bar association and he has a deep understanding of DUI defense practice.

Our criminal defense law firm has covered cases ranging from drug possession, white-collar crime, DUI/DWI, human trafficking, domestic violence, and more.

Ask a DUI Attorney OKC Residents Trust: What Exactly is Driving Under the Influence?

This area of criminal defense is one of the most complicated in Oklahoma or any jurisdiction for that matter. DUI and the surrounding charges, legal principles, and administrative action involving DPS and your driver’s license all intertwine into a formula, which you and your counsel must navigate or suffer financial consequences and the loss of your driver’s license.

First the most common term, DUI: the act of operating a vehicle while being over the legal limit for blood alcohol content (“BAC”). In Oklahoma, a BAC of .08 percent or higher constitutes DUI for any driver 21 years of age or older. In Oklahoma, a BAC of .04 percent or higher constitutes a DUI for a commercial driver’s license, which can amount to one drink within a relatively short period of time for some individuals. Additionally, in Oklahoma, a driver under the age of 21 can be convicted of DUI for a BAC above zero percent. DUI does not only apply to motor vehicles, and cars. It can apply to boats, utility vehicles, all-terrain vehicles (“ATV”), motorcycles, mopeds, heavy machinery/construction equipment, and other conveyances. Additionally, DUI can be constituted by drugs, commonly referred to as DUI-D.

What Happens After You’re Pulling Over for Driving Under the Influence in Oklahoma City?

If you are arrested in Oklahoma County for a DUI, you will be taken to the Oklahoma County jail where a bond will be set by the Sheriff’s bond schedule. You have three options for getting released from jail following arrest for a DUI in Oklahoma County: 1) you can hire a bondsman to post your bond and you will pay the bondsman somewhere between 155 to 20% of the total bond and secure your release; 2) you can wait until the courthouse opens and someone can post a cash bond for you with the court clerk’s office, which will be returned after the conclusion of your case; or 3) you can wait to see if the judge or conditional bond will grant your release without posting a bond on your DUI in Oklahoma. Also, you may call or text Cannon & Associates at 405-591-3935 and our OKC DUI legal team may be able to expedite your release.
Whether you were out in Oklahoma City with friends or attending an event, being arrested for an Oklahoma DUI is a scary and stressful experience, including the prospect of appearing before a judge in court on your OKC DUI case. You and your family will certainly have questions about the consequences of a DUI in Oklahoma, the Oklahoma DUI court process, the impact on your driver’s license, and the defenses available in your DUI case.

Actual Physical Control of a Motor Vehicle in Oklahoma City, OK.

If you are not operating your motor vehicle, you can still receive a charge for drunk driving under Oklahoma City criminal law. The charge is called “actual physical control (APC)” or a “non-driving DUI”.

APC: the act of being in physical control of a motor vehicle or other conveyance, discussed above, while under the influence of alcohol/drugs.

For example, a police officer can charge you with simply having the ability to operate your motor vehicle and being impaired by the use of alcohol or drugs. You can be arrested, charged, and convicted of APC for being asleep in a parked car, while intoxicated, on or adjacent to a public road.

Implied Consent Offenses in Oklahoma City, OK.

Implied consent law is active in Oklahoma City. Under the law, you have given advance consent to blood alcohol testing by virtue of driving in the state.

If you refuse a test upon getting arrested, then your driving privileges can get revoked.

All drivers implicitly consent to one of the following tests to determine, if a driver is intoxicated:

  • a blood test to determine the chemical makeup of your blood, i.e. BAC;
  • urinalysis to determine BAC;
  • or a breath test, i.e. breathalyzer to determine the content of your breath, which is alcohol to formulate a BAC.

Failure to submit to one of the Oklahoma tests can subject you to harsh penalties related to your driver’s license privilege as well as criminal and financial penalties.

The statute outlines that an individual can be found guilty of driving under the influence (DUI) if they “drive, operate or are in actual physical control of a motor vehicle within the state”.

Zero Tolerance Law in Oklahoma City, OK

Oklahoma City is known for having a “zero tolerance” law against underage drinking and driving. If you are under the age of 21, then you can be charged with an underage DUI or DWI(even for having a slight amount of alcohol in your system — a blood alcohol concentration of 0.02 or above).

If you are a first-time offender, then your case will usually be filed as a misdemeanor, but you should still take it very seriously. A DUI lawyer will be able to protect your legal rights in Oklahoma City.

Penalties for DUI, DWI, or APC Conviction in Oklahoma City, OK.

If you are facing criminal charges of a DUI, DWI, or APC, then the penalties will depend on a series of different factors including the level of impairment, the type of offense, and whether you have any previous alcohol or drug-related offenses on your criminal history record that could potentially be used against you.

A criminal charge and a warrant for arrest, in District or Municipal Court, will follow an arrest for DUI, DWI, or APC. Being convicted of one of these offenses comes with harsh penalties, including, but not limited to the following:

Potential Federal Crime, DUI, APC, or DWI constitutes a federal crime, if the offense occurs on federal land, including Tinker Air Force Base, Ft. Sill, Vance Air Force Base, or any federal land, such as national parks. 

It is important that you have an Oklahoma City DUI lawyer on your side to protect you from facing these penalties. Call our criminal defense law firm to set up a free case evaluation now.

Driving Privileges Following DUI Arrest in Oklahoma

Many of our clients are most concerned about their driver’s license and the threat to their ability to drive following a DUI arrest. Substantial changes took place in Oklahoma’s DUI laws in recent years, which removed the right to an administrative hearing through DPS. Your rights related to your driver’s license following a DUI arrest are limited to participating in DPS’ IDAP or filing a District Court Appeal (DCA) to fight the validity of your DUI traffic stop and arrest.

Following a DUI arrest in Oklahoma, time is not on your side related to a decision on your course of action for your driver’s license. You only have 30 days to apply for IDAP, which requires you to be in compliance prior to entering the program. Additionally, you must file your District Court Appeal to fight your DUI traffic stop for driver’s license purposes within 30 days as well. This is an important decision that should not be taken lightly. We have a great amount of experience in driver’s license appeals in Oklahoma, as well as IDAP. We look forward to assisting you in evaluating the best course of action for your circumstance.  

DUI Administrative Hearing in Oklahoma City, OK.

If you receive a notice of revocation by a police officer, then you only have 15 days to request an administrative hearing with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety. It is important to note that an administrative case is separate and distinct from other criminal charges and criminal convictions.

Our team of DUI defense lawyers can argue that a refusal never occurred and help you to avoid a license revocation.

OKC DUI Defense in DUI Injury Cases

What is the Difference Between a DUI and DWI in Oklahoma City, OK?

It is quite common for people to use the terms ‘driving under the influence (DUI)’ and ‘driving while intoxicated (DWI)’ interchangeably. However, they are classed as two different offenses under criminal law in Oklahoma City:

Driving under the influence (DUI)

If the individual is 21 years old or over, and they have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or higher, then they can be charged with driving under the influence (DUI).

Sometimes, a DUI can be called a “per se” offense. If an individual’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is above the limit, then they are in violation of the law.

An individual can also be charged with a DUI for being under the influence of drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol. If your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.15 or higher, then you can be charged with an aggravated DUI.

However, if you are a commercial driver, then you could face a DUI even if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is as low as 0.04.

Driving while impaired (DWI)

If the individual has a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) that is below the “per se” legal limit, but it is still high enough for a police officer to believe that they are impaired by alcohol or drugs, then they will be charged with driving while impaired (DWI).

In most cases, an individual can be charged with a DWI when their blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is between 0.06 and 0.07.

A DWI Defense Attorney Can Help You in Oklahoma City, OK.

Our DWI defense attorneys at Cannon & Associates will protect your legal rights against all odds. Your future matters to us. A DWI defense lawyer from our law firm will serve you by:

Know your Options, if Accused or Charged with a DUI or DWI in Oklahoma

It is important to know your rights and retain an Oklahoma criminal defense attorney with experience defending DUI; DWI; and APC cases as soon as possible. Your life and freedom are on the line and you need a defense. Defenses are available in your criminal case and administrative proceeding before DPS, but you need a defense attorney who can use this information to your benefit. The fact you were arrested and charged with DUI, does not mean you will be convicted. You have rights and your attorney will ensure they are protected. Defenses are available to contest your charges and the tests police conducted; however, an experienced DUI defense attorney is needed to maximize your chance for a successful outcome. An experienced Oklahoma DUI attorney can reduce the negative impact your case has on your life and may be able to obtain a dismissal. The following are common Constitutional and other legal grounds to be raised by your Oklahoma DUI defense attorney:

  • Police lacked probable cause to pull you over, a Constitutional requirement prior to seizing a driver;
  • Police violated other Constitutional Rights: access to counsel; improper questioning; improper search of your vehicle or person. You can learn more about Vehicle stops in this article, which I had published in the Oklahoma Bar Journal. (Link to OBJ article on vehicle searches)
  • In an APC case, you may not have legal actual physical control of the vehicle;
  • Most commonly, the officer failed to follow proper procedure in administrering or interpreting the Field Sobriety Test (Link to FST Video page);
  • The testing device, Breathalizer or BAC device was not functioning correctly or not calibrated correctly.

Can I represent myself in my Oklahoma DUI and avoid the expense of an experienced Oklahoma DUI Lawyer?

Yes, you and everyone with a legal issue, including a DUI criminal case has the right to defense yourself. However, in the complex realm of Oklahoma DUI defense, the saying “a lawyer has no greater fool than himself for a client” holds true, if you choose to defend your Oklahoma DUI case without an experienced OKC DUI defense attorney. Driving under the Influence is one of the most serious misdemeanor offenses you can face in Oklahoma. For example, if your DUI case is not dismissed and you have a second DUI case in Oklahoma within 10 years, it will be prosecuted as a felony and you may risk prison time.

Even if you know you were intoxicated when you drove and you believe you meet the legal definition of driving under the influence of alcohol in Oklahoma, there are still a number of issues that require an experienced OKC DUI lawyer to handle for you. The following are some reasons to work with Your Fierce Advocates® at Cannon & Associates rather than representing yourself in your Oklahoma DUI case:

  1. Oklahoma DUI and Driving Privileges: Your driving privileges are at risk, if you enter a plea to your Oklahoma DUI criminal case without the advice of an experienced DUI lawyer. You should have been served with a notice of revocation of your license, which instructs you that you must either participate in IDAP or file a District Court Appeal, i.e. a lawsuit against DPS, within 30 days or risk your license being revoked.  When you enter a guilty plea to a DUI in Oklahoma without properly addressing your driving privileges, you risk your license being revoked and placing the stress and expense of seeking reinstatement upon yourself.  It is crucial to properly identify and handle your driver’s license or driving privilege matter during your DUI case in Oklahoma.
  2. Refusal of State’s Test: your driver’s license will remain administratively revoked following a refusal to take the state’s test, unless you follow the proper procedure and adequately address your Oklahoma driver’s license or driving privileges in court or through the DPS IDAP process. Again, you only have 30 days to properly initiate the right process. Having an experienced OKC DUI attorney advise you, help you navigate your Oklahoma DUI case and driver’s license suspension action increases your chances for the best outcome in both arenas and the continued ability to avoid losing your driver’s license and avoid an Oklahoma DUI conviction.
  3. Other DUI Charges:  your Oklahoma DUI case may involve secondary or more serious offenses than an Oklahoma DUI charge. Some Oklahoma traffic violations, such as fleeing or attempted eluding, can have serious consequences on your driving privileges in Oklahoma. When or if you enter a guilty plea to an offense other than DUI, it too can cause your driving privileges to be revoked by DPS. Basically, your driver’s license is at risk from multiple angles after you are arrested for DUI in Oklahoma. When you work with an experienced OKC DUI lawyer, you will be aware of the risks and you will greatly increase your chance of avoiding the negative consequences of a DUI in Oklahoma.
  4. Best Deal on your Oklahoma DUI: prosecutors may give you a bad plea offer, if you decide to handle your Oklahoma DUI criminal case without an experienced OKC DUI lawyer. You will not know, if you are getting a very good deal or a very bad deal on your DUI, if you do not work with an experienced Oklahoma DUI lawyer. The negative consequences of a bad plea deal on your DUI may cost you more than hiring an attorney. You will be required to pay a fine that can be thousands of dollars potentially. You can be required to complete classes or courses related to driving and driving, which cost a substantial amount of money, and you may have probation fees or court costs that can be thousands of dollars as well. All these expenses can be far more than the retainer of hiring an experienced OKC DUI lawyer to get you the best deal possible, if you decide to enter a plea to your DUI case and it will help you minimize and understand your probation requirements.
  5. Going Alone in Your DUI Case: You will have many requirements in order to avoid a conviction and jail time in your DUI case, during the process and after your Oklahoma DUI case is resolved. When you go through the process alone, it is all on you to ensure that everything is done and done the right way at the right time on your Oklahoma DUI case. However, if you work with an experienced and dedicated DUI defense team, such as Cannon & Associates, you will never be alone. We work with you ever step of the process in your Oklahoma DUI case. We can appear in your place at court under multiple circumstances, i.e. you do not have to show up to court. Additionally, we will walk you through everything that must be done in order to be successful on your DUI probation, if your case is not dismissed, including we are always only a phone call, a visit, or an email away from answering your questions well beyond your DUI case being resolved.
  6. You are held to the same standard as an Oklahoma DUI attorney: the Oklahoma Rules of Evidence, the criminal procedure for your DUI criminal case, and the administrative procedure for your driver’s license matter will apply to you the same, as if you were a DUI defense attorney. The judge will not be able to give you legal advice, the prosecutor cannot give you legal advice, and no one is allowed to assist you during the legal process, except your attorney. Whether you decide to take your DUI case to trial or an administrate hearing for your driver’s license, it is not an even playing field, if you are going against the prosecutor as a non-lawyer. You may make an incriminating statement against your interest by simply asking a question and anything you say in court can be used against you. Invest in your future and work with an experienced OKC DUI defense attorney.

"My experience with CANNON & ASSOCIATES was absolutely amazing. I hired John Cannon two days before my rebuttal statement was due back to the Staff Judge Advocate. Within that time frame he was able to talk to my Battery and Battalion Commanders, review my evidence, and help me write a rebuttal statement that help prove my case to them, the Brigade Commander and the Post Commanding General. Cannon worked thru the night to help me get the best results for me and my family. Due to his hard work and attention to detail I am still able to continue to serve my country and progress in my military career with no adverse actions on my record. I can not thank him enough on a job well done. Cannon showed me that he was invested in my case and I highly recommend you hire him when you need someone to represent you in a legal matter."
