Receiving a DUI, or DUII as it is called in Oregon, charge in West Linn is a serious matter that can have significant legal and personal consequences. The legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Oregon is 0.08%. If you’re pulled over and fail a BAC test, you could face various penalties, including fines, license suspension, mandatory alcohol education programs, and even potential jail time. This is particularly true for repeat offenses. 

​

However, it's important to note that even if you pass a BAC test and have a BAC below the legal limit, you can still be charged with a DUI if the arresting officer determines that your ability to operate a vehicle was impaired by alcohol or other substances. 

​

Having a knowledgeable attorney in West Linn can provide you with informed guidance is essential to safeguard your rights and work towards the best possible outcome.
