Our Driving While Intoxicated Defense Lawyers are familiar with the multiple aspects of handling Driving While Intoxicated and Driving Under the Influence related cases from the investigative stage through trial. We also familiarize ourselves with the various DWI policies that are unique in many jurisdictions. In fact, we have worked with prosecutors to implement policies that consider collateral consequences for people charged with DWI related offenses. Our DWI Defense Attorneys work frequently with private investigators and forensic experts who form our Driving While Intoxicated Defense team to provide you with the best defense.
