Kansas DUI Law
Driving Under the Influence
The Kansas DUI lawyers at
Erker, Norton, & Hare are dedicated to the aggressive
defense of DUI cases in the municipal, state and federal courts
of Kansas. Our attorneys have an immense depth of experience
in fighting drunk driving charges. Such a charge may be designated
in Kansas as a DUI (driving under the influence), DWI (driving
while impaired), or an OUI (operating under the influence).
They are all essentially the same charge and the penalties
for a Kansas DUI conviction are harsh.
Our firm has put together
a brief overview of the Kansas DUI law that we ask our clients
to review. The "Brief Guide to
Kansas DUI Law" contains information about the nature
of the offense of DUI and the ramification that such a charge
or conviction can have on an individual's life, driving privileges,
criminal record and freedom.
If you have been charged
with a DUI in Kansas you only have 10 days in which to make
a request to the Kansas Department of Revenue for a hearing
to determine whether your driver's license should be suspended.
If you do not make the request within 10 days your license
to drive in Kansas is suspended automatically. You must act
fast if you have been cited for failing or refusing a test
of your breath blood or urine.
If you would like one of
our attorneys to contact you regarding a Kansas DUI charge,
or if you have another legal question, you can submit
a form and a Kansas DUI lawyer will contact you immediately,
usually within one business day. There is little time to waste.
If you have been charged with a DUI in Kansas you need information

Our law firm has put together
a book that we give to our Kansas
DUI clients, and have reproduced it here online. Although
it was written by one of our attorneys, credit must be given
to the many brilliant lawyers that we have had the pleasure
of discussing this subject with over the years, and especially
the attorneys at the National
College for DUI Defense. It is from those people
that we have developed many of our ideas concerning Kansas
DUI defense. It must be stressed that none of the information
contained in these documents should be construed as legal
advice, nor does it create any attorney-client relationship
between Erker, Norton, & Hare L.L.C. and the reader. We
are providing it here purely for informational purposes regarding

Further, this information
in no way represents the totality of the law and issues related
to Driving Under the Influence in Kansas. It is but a brief
overview. It is certainly no substitute for the advice of
an attorney, and no person should undertake the awesome challenge
of a Kansas DUI case without competent counsel. Also, the
law is constantly evolving and changing. This information
is accurate as of September 2003. Please
check with an attorney.
