So you, or someone close to you has been charged with a DUI?
There are multiple defenses we could utilize on your behalf.
The first step you should take is to speak with an experienced attorney regarding your case. Here at Scott M. Anderson we have years of experience with this very subject. DUI and DWI both refer to the act of driving a vehicle while under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol. DUI stands for driving under the influence and DWI refers to driving while intoxicated. In Oklahoma they are both the same charge.
According to the Department of Motor Vehicles:
"Impaired driving BAC between 0.05% and 0.08%:
Fine: $100 to $500
