DWI Lawyer

Contrary to popular belief, DWI or drunk driving arrests can happen to anyone. Even someone who never drinks alcohol may be charged with driving impaired when under the influence of prescription drugs or over-the-counter drugs such as Ambien.

Occasional drinkers, social drinkers, alcoholics, rich, poor, students, and middle class: All have been charged with driving while intoxicated. Regardless of the circumstances, a DWI arrest is not just a “major traffic ticket.” It is a serious legal challenge that demands a prompt, comprehensive defense. Talk to a lawyer as soon as possible after you have been charged with driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).
