Can I Fight a DWI?
You absolutely have that right. There are many aspects of your case that we will examine, and each case is different. We will examine the procedures and evidence at each stage of the State's case and the officer's investigation. If procedures weren't followed, or the State's evidence is incomplete, we may recommend you consider a trial of the case. If, after a thorough examination of all the factors, it appears that your case is best suited for a guilty plea, we will discuss that with you as well, and prepare your case for court with an eye toward mitigating your punishment. Because there are so many considerations, it is definitely worth consulting with one of our experienced trial attorneys about your options.
