However, laws can vary by jurisdiction, and... View More

If I was accused of being under the influence of Opioid due to having a raspy voice and my pupils were constricted, a DUI charge stemmed from this and multiple other charges followed but when my blood lab results returned the lab stated i had no Opioids in my system would this be a fightable charge.

Based on the information you've provided, it seems that the initial justification for the DUI charge and subsequent charges may have been flawed, as the arresting officer's suspicion of opioid use was not supported by the blood test results. This could potentially form the basis for... View More

No one - including your lawyer - can tell you with any certainty that you will get your license restored. The administrative hearing officers take a lot of factors into account.
