Driving While Impaired (DWI) – Can I avoid a conviction?

There is no doubt that driving while impaired (DWI) is a serious problem in our country. How serious is a matter of debate. Recent statistics from the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration reveal that deaths due to alcohol related traffic accidents are at an all time low, while deaths due to non-alcohol related accidents are at an all time high. However, politicians have embraced the DWI problem as a safe platform from which to run for office. The result is that DWI laws and penalties are becoming more and more severe, and the end to this trend is nowhere in sight. No politician is going to speak up on behalf of the rights of those accused of DWI. This is why you need an attorney who has experience representing people accused of DWI and who has had success in doing so.

Contrary to prevalent public perception, an accusation of DWI does not always result in a conviction. Defendants frequently do avoid conviction. DWI charges are dismissed and reduced. Good judges still find defendants not guilty when the State fails to prove its case. The presumption of innocence is still alive in America. However, no one who rolls over and pleads guilty to DWI has ever been found not guilty of DWI. While not all DWIs can be tried and successfully defended, if you have been charged with DWI, then you owe it to yourself to consult an attorney who knows DWIs.
