One reason that people sometimes give when they unexpectedly get a DWI is that they were not drinking alcohol at all — at least, they didn’t know they were. They claim that someone must have spiked their drink. They never even thought they were under the influence, or they thought they just had one drink […]
There are multiple ways to defend yourself against criminal charges. Proving that you weren’t the person involved is one strategy. Challenging evidence is another way that people can assert their innocence. Many people think that driving while intoxicated (DWI) charges often stem from bulletproof evidence. However, it is often possible for individuals to challenge chemical breath tests […]
If you’re like most older Americans, you’re probably on a couple of different prescriptions.

The best way to prevent a DWI arrest is to avoid alcohol if you know you have to drive. When you do this, there’s no chance of this trouble entering your life. However, that’s easier said than done, as everyone makes mistakes in their life. If you’re pulled over for suspicion of DWI, the first […]
A typical DWI arrest often goes like this: The officer sees a reason to stop your car and pulls you over because they have reason to suspect that you are intoxicated, e.g., swerving or driving too slowly. They ask you to perform some field sobriety tests. If you fail them, they take you back to […]
