Brian Murphy is a trusted and experienced attorney based in Manchester CT. Attorney Brian Murphy will represent you with competent, compassionate advice. Connecticut’s DUI law consists primarily of two statutes. The first prohibits a person from driving while “under the influence” of alcohol or drugs or with an “elevated” blood alcohol content. A person is under the influence if his ability to drive is affected to an appreciable degree. Under the second statute, motorists implicitly consent to be tested for drugs or alcohol when they drive. The law establishes administrative license suspension procedures for drivers who refuse to submit to a test or whose test results indicate an elevated blood alcohol content.
