First, there is the criminal case. Since driving under the
influence of alcohol or drugs is a violation of state statute and/or city
ordinance, either the county or city can arrest a suspected driver and issue a
ticket or summons requiring the driver to appear in court and face charges.
The criminal penalties for DUI/ DWI are mostly dependent
upon the driver’s history of alcohol-related infractions. Whether a driver
should plead guilty with the assistance of an attorney negotiating a “plea
bargain,” or instead challenge the charge at a trial, is dependent upon the
evidence and the validity of the arresting officer’s initiation of the traffic
stop and collection of information and evidence from the driver.
Only a skilled Kansas City area trial lawyer – one who not
only knows all of the various defenses available to a driver, but who has also
employed them in a courtroom, should be advising and handling your DUI/ DWI
case. Look for a criminal defense lawyer who promises to not only
investigate your charges, but who also discusses with you the legal research
that must be conducted in order to properly strategize your defense.
Analysis of your case and potential defenses ought to be
done in person. Never should you try to
glean plans for your own specific case off of a website. So meet with an experienced criminal defense
attorney immediately!

Thanks for the information on DUI/DWI charges. I never knew that it was two separate cases. It’s fascinating how such a simple matter as drinking under the influence is so complicated in the courtroom. That is why a good lawyer is needed in such circumstances to make sure that your rights are being represented.
ReplyDeleteI got pulled over after leaving a bachelorette party, recently. After being charged, I knew I had to get an attorney immediately. However, my future isn’t to be trusted to just any attorney. I wanted someone experienced in and dedicated to DUI defense.
