DUI/DWI: Traffic
violations can have serious criminal consequences, particularly when a driver
is accused of driving under the influence. A conviction on DUI or DWI charges
may result in fines, the revocation or suspension of your driver's license,
and possible jail time. In addition, your insurance company may increase your
rates to an unmanageable level. In defending against an impaired driving
charge, you have many rights as a criminal defendant, including the right to
cross-examine the witnesses against you, even if they are police officers. An
experienced criminal defense attorney can make all the difference in such a
difficult case. If you are pulled over remember
your rights and follow these steps: -Provide your driver’s license,
registration, and proof of insurance -Sign any citation and leave
immediately -Do NOT answer any questions
without an attorney present -Do NOT do a “Field Sobriety Test” -Do NOT consent to being recorded -Do NOT consent to having your
car, person, or other property searched -If you are arrested, ask for an
attorney immediately -Do NOT waive any of your rights -Submit to a blood or breath test,
but request an additional legal blood test. Time is an issue with every DUI / DWI case; if you have been arrested for DUI, please contact us right away at 509-326-3600 to have the best possible chance to preserve your rights.
