Erin Swezey Act

Oklahoma’s Erin Swezey Act

Our Attorneys Successfully Challenged Unjust Ignition Interlock Device Requirements

The Erin Swezey Act went into effect in Oklahoma on November 1, 2011, and faced significant changes in 2019. Named for a young woman who was killed by a drunk driver in 2009, this piece of legislation used to impose harsher driver’s license-related punishments for first and subsequent DUI offenders, but its requirements involving the temporary but mandatory installation of ignition interlock devices after a DUI-related license revocation no longer apply.

Even though the Erin Swezey Act is no longer in effect, you still only have very limited time to save your license after a DUI arrest. Our seasoned DUI defense attorneys at Hunsucker Legal Group can help you understand and pursue your options.

"I wish there were more stars for me to select. Worth every buck!"
I wish there were more stars for me to select. I was in the darkest, most humiliating season of my life and David Hamel, and Kamber made it as least painful as possible. I have committed multiple dui’s along with another felony in my early 20’s. (Not even almost proud of it.) I’ve struggled with alcoholism and the behaviors of an alcoholic since I was 15, so imagine a wrap sheet that comes with that. In a small town outside of OKC where I was offered 10 years in prison, David got me the absolute best case scenario, and their team made it to where I was able to keep my license. Kamber is a gem at her job description which seems to be everything except show up in the courtroom. Haha I owe David, and Hunsucker legal group my life. At least 10 years of it. For telling me what to do to keep my freedom, giving me opportunity, and most importantly (unlike any other law firm I’ve encountered) David fought for me, clenched fist and red face fought for me. This is the law firm that stands out. Listen to their advice, be patient, and communicate. Thanks HLG, David, Kamber. And anyone else that had their hands on this. Worth every buck!

"Doug went above and beyond to do anything within his power to keep me from taking an extended stay at OK County."
I was represented by Doug Baxter of the Hunsucker Legal Group for my DUI case. I would definitely recommend Hunsucker Legal Group to anyone going through a DUI case. I'm happy to say that I now have my life back and thanks to the job that Doug did I can start anew. Thank you so much for the knowledge and hope you gave me through this entire thing.

"After my first meeting with John, I felt very relieved."
Before I met the team at Hunsucker Legal Group, I was panicking. I thought my life was over. I knew my future was in good hands. They treated me very respectfully and courteously. They explained everything I should expect and instructed me on the next steps. I followed all of their advice exactly and got the best outcome I could have wanted. They always responded quickly to my questions when I emailed them. If you have a DUI, I would highly recommend the Hunsucker Legal Group.

"John was extremely helpful through this very difficult process in my life."
From the first meeting with him, he explained everything that was going to occur, provided paperwork, and assured me that the firm would take care of all my needs. He took the time to answer all of my questions regarding the State of OK laws regarding DUI, gave me the information to contact individuals for classes and documents I needed for my hearings. I received updates regarding dates for my case regularly and also phone calls. I was extremely grateful that I was able to have a payment plan as well. Even though I was very nervous throughout this process, he was a calming force for me. I would not hesitate to recommend him and your firm to anyone who unfortunately has to experience getting a DUI. Thank you so much for your assistance!

"On a case that I should have gone to prison, Douglas Baxter got everything waived."
I really don’t deserve the outcome I received. I have not stopped crying and bragging all day. I am still in shock and am very thankful. He is worth every penny spent. I hope that I will never need his service again but I will definitely be spreading the word on him. Again. Thank you so much for everything sir! You literally saved my life!
