You Have a Lot to Lose – We’re on Your Side

A conviction for Driving Under the Influence (DUI) should be avoided at all costs. If you are facing drunk driving charges in Kansas, call our experienced DUI defense firm before you sign or plead to anything.

With the tough drunk driving laws in Kansas, Traffic Law Central of Bukaty Law Offices, P.A., is the strong advocate you need. We work hard to keep you out of jail and keep your driver's license.

DON'T LOSE YOUR LICENSE WITHOUT A FIGHT — If you fail to request an administrative driver's license hearing within 15 days of your arrest, your license will be automatically suspended. We can help you file for a hearing and represent you at the hearing. It is possible to challenge your license suspension in Kansas; Anthony Bukaty has helped many clients retain their driving privileges. Don't wait!

The Consequences of a DUI

In Kansas, even first-time offenders can face jail. With second offenses, some jail is mandatory, and a third DUI is a felony with a sentence of up to one year in jail.

Other consequences may include:

• Substantial fines
• License suspension from 30 days to 1 year or more
• A criminal record
• Higher insurance rates
• Mandatory treatment
• Community service
• Ignition interlock on your vehicle

Enhanced penalties: You face an even more difficult challenge if arrested for DUI while having underage children in the car, an auto accident, drug possession, a very high BAC or eluding police.
Minors in Possession (MIP): If you are under age 21 you can be charged with an alcohol offense for having barely any alcohol in your system and you face tougher license suspensions under the Kansas “Zero Tolerance” laws. Juveniles charged with DUI are treated the same as adults and can face jail
Refusal of a Breathalyzer test: Exercising your right not to give a breath test can result in an automatic one-year license suspension for first-time offenders

CDL Holders: You can face tougher penalties and longer license suspensions even if stopped for DUI in a non-commercial vehicle

Aggressive Defense

Anthony Bukaty examines every aspect of your case to get charges dismissed or to challenge the prosecution at trial, including:

• Probable cause for the traffic stop
• Evidence contained in police reports
• Validity of Breathalyzer tests and blood or urine tests
• Proper administration of field sobriety tests
• Video evidence from patrol cars and police station cameras

It is possible to avoid being convicted of a DUI. By using the proper legal techniques, Traffic Law Central can help you avoid a bad outcome.

Do You Qualify for Diversion or Probation?

Kansas law does not allow drunk driving to be reduced to a lesser offense. However, many first-time offenders can be eligible for a diversion program with probation instead of jail. No conviction will appear on your criminal record. We work hard for this alternative if the prosecution has a solid case to convict. Even for many of our clients who are second-time offenders, we can arrange for them to do no jail time.

For the best chance of avoiding jail and keeping your license, you need an experienced DUI attorney. Contact Traffic Law Central immediately to fight your DUI and preserve your license at 913-708-8194 or 816-841-2557. Phones answered 24 hours. We offer evening and weekend appointments.
