Being pulled over on Parish Drive or Fort Weaver Road for a DUI can be the beginning of a long and costly ordeal. Hawaii’s DUI laws are strict and punitive. Even a first-time offender could face lasting consequences, like jail time or suspended driving privileges. Many Ewa Beach residents rely on an Ewa Beach DUI lawyer to fight their charges so they do not face the most serious consequences under the law.
Without legal representation, you could be facing harsh penalties and an uncertain future following a DUI arrest. The Law Office of R. Patrick McPherson knows how to challenge DUI charges and protect your driving privileges. With decades of experience, we approach each case strategically, examining the evidence for flaws and procedural errors that could work in your favor.
Ewa Beach and the surrounding areas of Oahu continue to see active DUI enforcement. Between November 2024 and January 2025, Honolulu police recorded 49 arrests for impaired driving.
In a notable 2022 case, Hawaii State Representative Matt LoPresti was arrested in Ewa Beach for driving under the influence. He declined a field sobriety test and questioned its relevance during a recorded exchange with police. A March 2025 overnight operation in nearby Kapolei resulted in three OVUII arrests during a crackdown on illegal street racing.
Common defense strategies for DUIs involve scrutinizing the evidence used against you and looking for potential violations of your rights. If prosecutors do not have reliable evidence to prove that you were driving under the influence, that could lead to a favorable outcome, such as dropped charges. If your fundamental rights were violated during your arrest, anything obtained afterward could be deemed inadmissible in court.
