Understanding DUI Charges in Oklahoma

In Oklahoma, DUI (Driving Under the Influence) and DWI (Driving While Impaired) are serious offenses with harsh penalties. You can be charged if:

  • Your BAC (blood alcohol content) is 0.08% or higher
  • You’re impaired by alcohol, marijuana, or prescription drugs
  • You refuse a chemical test under Oklahoma’s implied consent law

You can also face Aggravated DUI charges if your BAC is 0.15% or above.

DUI Penalties in Oklahoma

The penalties for DUI vary based on your BAC, prior offenses, and whether there was an accident or injury. Consequences may include:

Your License Is at Risk—Act Fast

After a DUI arrest, you only have 30 days to request a hearing with the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety (DPS) to contest your license suspension. If you miss this deadline, your license will be automatically revoked—even before your case goes to court.

We handle DPS hearings for our clients and will guide you through every part of the process to protect your driving privileges.

Our DUI Defense Strategy

Every case is different, but we build every DUI defense around key questions like:



  • Was the traffic stop lawful?
  • Were the field sobriety tests administered correctly?
  • Is the breath or blood test result accurate and reliable?
  • Were your rights violated during arrest or questioning?
  • Were you truly impaired under Oklahoma law?

We use our local knowledge of Claremore and Rogers County courts to negotiate favorable outcomes—or go to trial when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  • What’s the difference between DUI & DWI in Oklahoma?

    DUI typically means a BAC of 0.08% or greater. DWI usually applies to BACs between 0.05% and 0.08%, or when a driver is impaired by substances. Both can carry penalties.

  • Can I go to jail for a first-time DUI?

    Yes, but jail time can often be avoided with the right defense or diversion options—especially for first-time offenders.

  • Do I have to install an ignition interlock device?

    Possibly. Oklahoma law requires it in certain DUI cases, especially those with high BACs or repeat offenses. We can help reduce or avoid this.

  • Can I fight the breath or blood test results?

    Yes. Testing equipment errors, improper procedures, or medical conditions can impact results. We’ll challenge flawed evidence in court.


  • How much does a DUI defense cost?

    We offer honest, upfront pricing and flexible payment options. The cost of a defense is almost always less than the long-term cost of a conviction.
