Criminal Justice Attorney
DUI/OUI
State law prohibits anyone from driving a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol or drugs. The law reads “driving while under the influence of liquor means…that a driver has become so affected in his mental, physical, or nervous processes that he lacked to an appreciable degree the ability to function properly in relation to the operation of his vehicle” (State v. Gordon, 84 Conn. App. 519, (2004)). Arrests made for driving under the influence, either of alcohol or drugs, are similar in most respects. In arresting someone for DUI, an officer typically pulls over a motorist who is driving erratically, straddling lane lines, or otherwise exhibiting signs of impaired driving. The officer talks to the driver, observes and assesses his or her behavior, and may administer a field sobriety test. The officer may then arrest the driver and ask him or her to take a breath, blood, or urine test.
Drug Possession – 1/2 Oz or more of marijuana or any amount of another illegal drug
In 2015, the Connecticut legislature created a new penalty structure that punishes possession of half an ounce or more of marijuana or any amount of another illegal drug as a class A misdemeanor (rather than a felony) and allows the court to:1. suspend prosecution for a second offense and order treatment for a drug dependent person and 2. punish third-time or subsequent offenders as persistent offenders, which subjects them to the penalties for a class E felony (CGS § 21a-279, as amended by PA 15-2, June Special Session, (JSS).
Drug Possession – Small Amounts of Marijuana – Less Than 1/2 Oz – Infraction
In 2011, Connecticut enacted a law that decriminalized the possession of less than half an ounce of marijuana. The act (PA 11-71, §§ 1-5):1. reduced the penalty for possessing less than half an ounce of marijuana from a crime that carries a possible prison term to a (1) $150 fine for a first offense and (2) $200 to $500 fine for a subsequent offense (CGS § 21a-279a).2. reduced, from a crime to an infraction, the penalty for certain actions involving drug paraphernalia when they relate to less than half an ounce of marijuana (CGS § 21a-267(d)).3. imposed a 60-day suspension of the driver’s license or nonresident operating privileges of violators under age 21 (or 150 days ineligibility after meeting licensing requirements) (CGS § 14-111e).4. lowered the burden of proof from beyond a reasonable doubt to a preponderance of the evidence for trials related to certain offenses that involve less than one-half ounce of marijuana (CGS § 51-164n(i)).
Programs for DUI/OUI and Drug Related Offenses
Diversionary (from jail and/or conviction) programs are available in Connecticut for people arrested for driving under the influence, possession of illegal drugs, and for people who commit certain non-drug related crimes while addicted to drugs or alcohol. These programs range from a series of class to in patient treatment and relapse prevention. In many cases, successful completion of a diversionary program can result in dismissal of criminal charges resulting in no record of arrest or conviction.

Andy did an outstanding job with my case and was not only professional and responsive, but would check in on me from time to time to see how I was doing. He was an absolute shark when it came to fighting for what I deserved and yet compassionate to how I was feeling. Even after the case was resolved he went above and beyond. My daughter had a situation that was just tearing me up inside and Andy was the only person that noticed something was different and reached out to me to see how she and I were doing. He was even able to refer me out to someone that can help with the situation. I TRUST him and will ALWAYS refer to him. Thank you Andy for everything!

Attorney Cates is an excellent attorney! Cates was referred to me by a family member he represented and beat a life sentence. He saved my life as well. I was facing some serious jail time, but Cates presented a great case and fought for my freedom till the end. I remember early in my case I told Cates “if I get jail time its ok I can handle it”… he immediately corrected me and said “I never fight to lose, my goal is win this case”! When he said that I knew I was in good hands. He gave me the strategy, resources and plan to effectively present my case and move the prosecution to give me probation over a lengthy jail sentence. If you have a serious case, then you need a serious attorney who knows the ins and outs of the system, good tact, strategy, years of experience and a fought and won BIG CASES… dont hesitate to hire Attorney Cates. I spent this Xmas home with my wife and children and it was all possible because Cates did a damn good job. I will be a life long client for future legal matters (non-criminal lol). Best thing I ever did was hire Cates!!!
