A traffic stop can be a moment filled with uncertainty. It’s natural to feel anxiety when you see flashing blue lights in your 
rearview mirror.
However, understanding your legal rights can transform this nerve-wracking experience.
Coupled with some advance preparation, such as having key documents readily available, you can confidently navigate the situation and ensure your rights are protected.
If you have been charged with driving while impaired (DWI), it is important to know that there are many possible consequences. You may be facing jail time, fines and fees, license suspension or revocation of your driver’s license, community service hours, and more.
Our experienced DWI lawyers can help guide you through the process. We will fight hard to protect your rights and explain your legal options. With
DWI charges, we think it’s important to pay careful attention to detail.
After the initial phone consultation with one of our criminal defense lawyers, we often times will want to meet you in person.
We find that it is helpful to be able to look a client in the eye, get to know you, and figure out your goals and what’s really important to you.
