Most of our clients are looking to have their DUI case dismissed or reduced.
One of those reductions is "physical control." Physical control
means that an individual was in control and had the keys of a car while
seated in the driver's seat after consuming alcohol. Physical control
is often seen as a reduction from a DUI charge because it is not a moving
violation and has no points. There is also no mandatory jail time requirement.
The maximum fine is $1,000 and the maximum license suspension is 1 year
versus 3 years on a possible DUI conviction.
