Dealing with Charges for DUI in Miami County, Kansas

miami county kansas dui courtHave you been arrested for a DUI in Miami County, Kansas?

Perhaps you meant to find a designated driver, but couldn’t. Maybe you ran a stop sign. Or perhaps you took a new medication without realizing the effect it had on your driving ability.

Whatever the cause, driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol is a very serious offense.

When charged, your DUI case will take place in the Miami County jurisdiction where you were arrested.

You’d be wise to consider being represented by a Miami County, Kansas DUI lawyer who can explore your options for reduced or dropped charges. Everyone makes mistakes, but accepting all charges as stated is usually a mistake that can be avoided before your court date.

If you have been arrested by a member of the Paola, Louisburg or Osawatomie police force for a non-felony DUI or intoxication-related offense, your case may be handled at the courthouse in the city where you were arrested.
