Written by Jamison Mark | Nov 3, 2014 5:00:00 PM

You were arrested for DUI / DWI.  You made the mistake of getting behind the wheel after drinking too much, and now you’re facing the consequences.  You are probably wondering about the long-term implications of your mistake, and you may be considering getting a lawyer to help you handle your case. The simple fact is that if you were involved in a DUI / DWI, you should hire a lawyer as soon as possible. Here are the top five reasons:

  1. An attorney can explain to you the ramifications of having a DWI or DUI on your record and how long it will stay there.
  2. A good lawyer will have extensive trial experience, which will prove valuable during your case.
  3. Experienced DUI / DWI attorneys know what evidence is relevant and admissible in court.
  4. A lawyer can help you reduce the fines, penalties, or jail time associated with your violation.
  5. An experienced DUI / DWI lawyer will be able to call on experts to testify in your case.

As you can see, there are many benefits to having a good lawyer on your side when facing charges for a DUI or DWI.  Although many lawyers may be available to handle your DUI / DWI case, you should only hire one with the experience necessary to help you reach the best outcome possible.  A court-appointed lawyer or the cheapest attorney you find may not be able to provide you with the level of representation necessary to reduce the impact of your DUI / DWI violation and could even make your situation worse.
