Traffic Offenses

Even so-called minor traffic offenses can have a long-term impact on your driving record and your automobile insurance rates. If you receive a traffic citation, talk to an attorney about how to respond to it. If you feel you have a viable defense, your attorney can explain how to present it as well as the pros and cons of fighting the ticket.

 

DWI Offenses

If you’ve been arrested or charged with a DWI related offense, an attorney should be one of your first calls. Your lawyer can’t promise a particular outcome. Many factors go into whether the prosecution is willing to offer a plea bargain or whether you have a strong defense. Your attorney can review the facts and the evidence against you and help you come up with an aggressive defense strategy.

 

Common Defense Strategies in a DWI Case

Your attorney has expertise in criminal law and procedure. He can review how law enforcement collected evidence against you and assess whether any of your constitutional rights may have been violated. If so, you may have grounds to request certain evidence never see the courtroom. Additionally, your attorney can carefully review your charges against the state’s evidence probing for weaknesses in the prosecution’s case. Those weaknesses may be exploited and used as leverage during plea negotiations, trial or sentencing if you’ve been convicted. The sooner you contact an experienced defense attorney, the more options you may have in building a solid defense strategy.
