DWI / DUI: DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW (but were afraid to ask)

• DWI is an equal opportunity offense.
  • Judges, prosecutors, politicians, celebrities, teenagers, senior citizens, repeat and first-time offenders. Any one can get charged with DWI.
  • No matter who you are, if you are stopped and an officer thinks you’ve been driving, the odds are good you’re going to jail.
• You should almost always fight a misdemeanor DWI charge.
  • The standard plea bargain for a first DWI is a conviction with probation.
  • Unfortunately, there’s no way to expunge a DWI conviction from your record, and the direct and indirect costs of a DWI can easily reach $10,000 dollars over just a few years.
• Any DWI, especially a first-DWI, is potentially winnable.
  • There is almost never a reason to just plead no contest or guilty, even if you think the State has a strong case.
  • If you look good or “normal” on video, you have a chance at a not guilty.
