About Drug & DUI Charges

A DUI charge in Forsyth County can be based upon drug intoxication. The determination as to whether you were driving intoxicated will be based upon the opinion of law enforcement who may have observed you driving erratically, recklessly, speeding, swerving, or driving in and out of your lane.  The charge of DUI can be based upon drug intoxication from a legally prescribed medication as well as illegal drugs.  If you have been arrested and charged with a DUI offense based upon drug intoxication, it is critical to contact a Forsyth County DUI lawyer. At the Law Offices of Richard S. Lawson, the legal team has vast experience in defending these charges and will immediately initiate defense actions on your behalf.

There are many factors, not related to drug intoxication, that may cause an individual to appear to be driving in an unsafe manner.  For example, a person can be pulled over for apparently swerving out of their lane when they were attempting to avoid a hazard on the road such as debris, an animal, or a pothole.  Every aspect of your case will be thoroughly reviewed and analyzed to determine how the defense should move forward when you enlist the help of the legal team at the firm.

DUI drug charges are very serious for the individual and you will face serious penalties if you are convicted.  It is extremely important to get legal representation from the moment of your arrest.  Do not answer any questions by law enforcement officers, such as if you have taken any legal or illegal drugs.  Even if you have a valid prescription, you can be charged with DUI.  Never tell the police about any prescription drugs that you are taking.

Anything you tell the police will be turned around and used against you.  The police will twist what you have said to build their case.  Frightened people can make statements that jeopardize their own case.  It is critical that you contact the firm as soon after your arrest as possible so that your attorney can help you invoke your right to remain silent
