What are the Penalties for a DUI in Bethel, AK?

A first time offense for drunk driving in Alaska can lead to jail, fines, loss of driver’s license, community service and significantly higher auto insurance premiums. The consequences increase if you have had prior alcohol related traffic arrests, had a very high BAC at the time of your arrest or caused an accident with injury. In certain cases the court has the discretion to impose mandatory alcohol assessment and rehabilitation treatment, vehicle seizure and installation of an ignition interlock device.

A conviction for DUI in Alaska will result in a criminal arrest record, which could impact your ability to open a credit account or find or keep a job. Canada is using increased data sharing with the United States to strictly enforce its policy of denying entry to anyone with a criminal record.

Leigh Ann Bauer wants to help you keep your record clean. Protect your future and call her now.

What happens to your driver’s license after an arrest?
If you refused to submit to a breath or blood test or registered a blood alcohol content of .08% or higher during your arrest, the state will move to suspend your license. You can fight the suspension by requesting an administrative hearing with the Division of Motor Vehicles, but you must do so within seven days of the date of your arrest.

The license suspension is totally different from your criminal case that is handled in the courts. Even if winning your case looks favorable, you must challenge the license suspension within seven days or you will lose your driving privileges.

Time is extremely critical in the handling of your license suspension. For immediate help scheduling and representing you at a DMV hearing, call The Law Office of Leigh Ann Bauer now for a free and confidential consultation of your case.

Law Office of Leigh Ann Bauer

Rating: 10 out of 10 based on 25 reviews5 Star Review
Great to Work With ☆ CASE REDUCED

Leigh Ann and her staff were very professional, great to work with and was interested in seeing and telling my side of the story. If I ever need another lawyer in the future (which I hope I don't) Leigh Ann would be my first call.

N.S.

Worth Every Penny ☆ GREAT OUTCOME

Leigh Ann was worth every penny. Now with that (and everything else in life) there are pros and cons, ups and downs, and here is no different. I had a handful of issues as a first-time defendant and some of those "issues" were with this office. However, the good things here far outweighed any delay or complaint that I might have had. They are highly experienced and extremely busy. My best advice is; to help them help you, you may need to do some homework and provide some evidence to arm them with certain details for your specific case. If you are willing to wait and put in some effort, this office will handle the rest.

E.J.

Well received a Dui last year, which was certainly my fault. Asked if Lee Ann Bauer would take my case and she agreed.

BEST ATTORNEY IN ALASKA! ☆ DUI - DISMISSED

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

BEST ATTORNEY IN ALASKA! I hired Leigh Ann last year when I was arrested for a DUI. I called Leigh Ann and hired her on the spot. I have never been in trouble before and didn't understand the process. When I talked to her on the phone, she walked me through the process and made me feel very comfortable in her ability to handle my case. If I received a DUI, I would lose my job, so I was extremely impatient out of fear. I would call all the time wanting to know the next steps and learned really quick to just trust she had my best interest. I read some of the bad comments on here when I was nervous and started to wonder if they were true. She is very busy and at times I can see where people could feel they're not getting a good quality attorney, but I can tell you from my own experience you will not get a better attorney! If she is able to sit on the phone all day, and then she wouldn't be doing her job. All you have to do is contact Liz and she will answer your questions. It's best if you email Liz, she responds within a timely manner.

Last week I received an email from Leigh Ann and the DA dropped my case!!! I will be forever grateful for Leigh Ann and Liz. I highly recommend Leigh Ann she will work hard for you, just trust the process and be patient. My case took a year to get dropped.

E.R.
