    I truly want to thank attorney DiNardi for all her hard work and dedication on my case, if it wasn't her for her I would be spending 4 months in jail for my 3rd DUI verses me pleading as a 1st DUI offender and getting a slap on my wrist. Lady DUI is the best DUI lawyer in Connecticut.

    I am truly impressed by Attorney DiNardi’s professionalism, work ethic, and fund of knowledge. Most importantly, however, she was kind and had a reassuring nature about her. I would trust no one else with my legal issues.

Whether you are facing a first, second, third, or subsequent offense, we have information on each charge, the penalties you might face, and ways that you can work to minimize the consequences.

We also have pages to take you through some of the science related to DUI and subsequent arrests. In most cases, police officers will perform standardized field sobriety tests and use the results to conduct DUI arrests. We can take you through the “science” of these tests, which is actually pretty flimsy, and help you understand how to defend yourself against the standardized field sobriety test results. We also outline the science involved in breath testing and how it is not always sound. This might especially be the case if the test is administered or interpreted improperly, which happens more often than you might think.

We also have some very important information on Derby drug DUIs. Drug DUIs differ from alcohol DUIs in their detection and the defenses that are applicable. You can learn more about what to do if you face a drug DUI in Derby here. And keep in mind that just because recreational marijuana is legal in Connecticut does not mean that driving under the influence of this substance is also legal. You can get in trouble for consuming marijuana and then the operating a motor vehicle, just as you can get in trouble for drinking too much and driving, even though alcohol is legal in Connecticut.

If you are a commercial driver’s license (CDL) holder, the stakes are even higher if you are convicted of a DUI because it can have a direct impact on your job. Learn more about what you are up against in this section.

Finally, let us walk you through the court and DMV processes that you will face if you are arrested for driving under the influence in Derby. We understand the ins and outs of the local courthouses and can tell you what to expect if you have to go to court.
