A first DWI arrest carries a sentence of up to a year in jail, and up to 7 years for those with prior DWI convictions. A skilled DWI attorney, however, can mean the difference between a prison sentence or a permanent criminal record and a reduced or dismissed charge. Often, a criminal lawyer can reduce DWI charges to a non-criminal traffic infraction.
When facing DWI charges, you need experienced criminal attorney who has experience and training in DWI defense.
David Storobin, our senior criminal lawyer, has completed an attorney course at the National DUI Defense College and has successfully handled many DWI cases.
For a free consultation with a lawyer, call (800) 391-8392.
Our fee for most DWI offenses is only $1,999 for everything.
