Anyone Can Be Stopped For Drunk Driving in Honolulu HI.

If you took a breath or blood test, your case is not hopeless! You need a lawyer! Hawaii, like most states, has criminalized driving with an alcohol level above a certain amount (.08% for DUI and .02% for Underage DWI grams per 120 liters of blood). People who submit to a test often believe that their case cannot be successfully defended because of the test results. This is not true! If you have been arrested for DUI or, in Hawaii OVUII, then you should contact an attorney.

Honolulu DUI lawyer Richard L. Holcomb has successfully defended hundreds of cases where there is an incriminating breath or blood alcohol content test performed. If the prosecutor cannot get the Blood or Breath test result into evidence, then in Hawaii, it is highly unlikely that you would be convicted of the “per se” DUI charge or, DUI defense attorneys often call it the (a)(3) provision, referring to section 291E-61(a)(3) of the Hawaii Revised Statutes.

First, a skilled attorney will move to suppress the test. Attorney Richard Holcomb has achieved the suppression of breath or blood alcohol tests due to the content of the form in dozens of cases.
In Hawaii, an OVUII Defendant must knowingly and voluntarily decide to take the test. Because of this, the Honolulu Police Department will routinely read a form to a person charged with OVUII. As of the drafting of this webpage, the form states the following:

1. Any person who operates a vehicle upon a public way, street, road or highway or on or in the waters of the State shall be deemed to have given consent to a test or tests for the purposes of determining alcohol concentration or drug content of the person’s breath, blood, or urine as applicable.
2. You are not entitled to an attorney before you submit to any test or test to determine your alcohol and/or drug content.
3. You may refuse to submit to a breath or blood test, or both for the purpose of determining alcohol concentration and/or blood or urine test, or both for the purpose of determining drug content. If you do refuse, the none shall be given, except as provided in section 291E-21. However, if you refuse to submit to a breath, blood, or urine test, you may be subject to up to the sanctions of 291E-65 if you are under 21 years of age at the time of the offense. In addition, you may also be subject to the procedures and sanctions under chapter 291E, part III.
