Highlight

Before deciding whether to submit to chemical testing, an individual has a qualified statutory right to consult with an attorney.
If a DUI arrestee who has been asked to take a chemical test makes any mention of a need for an attorney, the officer must assume the arrestee is requesting an opportunity to consult with an attorney and must allow a reasonable opportunity for the arrestee to do so.
If an arrestee makes only a passing reference to an attorney rather than mentioning a need for an attorney, an arrestee is not denied his limited statutory right to counsel prior to chemical testing.
