You Will Face Two Legal Proceedings
A drunk driving arrest starts two legal actions against you — an administrative proceeding concerning your driver's license and a criminal proceeding. The Law Office of Michael F. White, P.C., can represent you in both.
After an arrest for DWI, your driver's license will be suspended. You have 15 days from this date to request a hearing to challenge the suspension. Our firm can request this hearing for you and use it to establish certain facts that could be of use in the criminal proceeding.
We will also provide energetic representation in the criminal aspect of your case.
Defending a DWI Charge
In a DWI case, there may be one or more viable defense strategies.
- The police may not have had probable cause to stop your vehicle.
- The field sobriety tests may have been improperly conducted.
- The breath testing machine may not have been calibrated properly or the test conducted properly.
- The police may have destroyed evidence that is vital to their case.
Our attorneys will review all of the facts in your case and consider all of the possible defense strategies. If a viable defense strategy exists, we will aggressively defend your rights and freedom.
In some cases, it may make sense to seek a negotiated outcome that minimizes the penalties and the effect on your life. The Law Office of Michael F. White, P.C. will explain your options and work to achieve the best outcome possible.
