Serious Consequences
Many people arrested for drinking and driving have no criminal record and no history of alcoholic behavior; they simply had one too many drinks at a party or at a club after work. Yet the charge of driving while intoxicated (DWI), sometimes also referred to as driving under the influence (DUI) or driving while ability-impaired (DWAI), is a serious matter and can carry significant consequences.
When stopped for speeding, reckless driving, hit-and-run, leaving the scene of a crime or another vehicular crime it is sometimes difficult to act in your own interest. The police officer will be asking you questions or pressuring you to take a Breathalyzer or sobriety test, and it is difficult to know what to do. You understand that your words or actions could be used against you in your case, yet you want to be cooperative and avoid creating more problems. No matter what happened, the sooner you speak to an experienced defense attorney who can protect your rights, the better.
