Hawaii DUI Lawyer

DUI & Criminal Defense Attorneys Serving All of Hawaii

A DUI arrest in Hawaii can result in some very serious charges.   Drunk driving, DUI of drugs or OVUII (operating a vehicle under the influence of an intoxicant) charges can land you in the criminal justice system-a place you may have never thought you would find yourself.  A first offense can result in serious penalties not the least of which is a fine, a suspended or revoked license, substance abuse assessment and a series of drivers education classes aimed at instilling safe driving habits.  Although extremely unlikely, jail time is allowable as a punishment under the statutes.  Subsequent DUI convictions can result in most of the same penalties, even higher fines and even jail time.  Without strong defense representation, you stand to lose your license for up to a year or even a lifetime revocation in felony/habitual DUI / OVUII situations.  Your insurance premiums will likely go sky high if you require an insurance form known at an SR22 (SR 22), and being unable to drive can drastically affect your professional and personal life.  Additionally, if the DUI charge includes the bodily harm or death of another, you may be facing felony offenses.  Paul Cunney has defended DUI / OVUII cases in Hawaii for the majority of his career.  He is quite possibly the most knowledgeable attorney in Hawaii as regards DUI / OVUII defense.  In addition, Mr. Cunney has assembled a group of attorneys who are all experienced criminal litigators.  Using a team approach our clients receive the benefit of Mr. Cunney's experience as well as the pooled experience of the litigators he has assembled.  A skilled Hawaii attorney at law from the Law Offices of Paul Cunney works to provide strong criminal defense and representation for clients charged with DUI, traffic violations, domestic assault and other charges.
