DWI Defense Attorney

The legal definition of being intoxicated is a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or greater, but in some cases the legal definition may be met because of other factors. For example, just having alcohol, a drug, a dangerous drug, a controlled substance or some other substance in your body can qualify as “driving while intoxicated” if the presence of that substance in your body affects the normal use of your mental or physical faculties.  It’s an important distinction because many people think that DWI is specific to alcohol.

The minimum amount of jail time for DWI is 72 hours, unless you have an open container of alcohol in the car. If that’s the case, you’ll be in jail for at least six days. These minimum jail times are firm – meaning that your lawyer will not be able to reduce them any lower. However, minimum jail terms can be probatable and a qualified DWI attorney can help you with the process that begins after your initial arrest. Your legal counsel can help you determine the best steps for your specific case.

If you refused a breath or blood test or tested above a .08 for alcohol with a blood or breath test, you probably received a driver’s license suspension. A DWI attorney can help you through the process of getting a temporary license and will help with the hearings that take place to determine how long your license will be suspended.

Reduce or Eliminate Penalties

Other penalties for DWI conviction can include an extension of a driver’s license suspension, extended jail time and educational programs. If you’re facing these penalties, you’re no doubt worried about your future and concerned about the legal process. Finding a lawyer who specializes in DWI charges can make a world of difference. It can give you the peace of mind that you’re looking for and a light at the end of the tunnel through this difficult time.
