  • Top  11 Myths About DUI DWI Lawyer
  • Most people accused of DUI or DWI are guilty
  • This is one misconceptions that many DUI DWI
    lawyers and the general public harbor. In case
    you talk to a lawyer and the indication suggests
    that he believes you are guilty, simply dont
    hire them.
  • The truth is that breath tests are not 100
    correct and in any case the evidence can be
    attacked by a skillful expert. The machines used
    as evidence are most so unsophisticated that they
    can give wrong results.

2. Drunk driving is a minor offense Many people
tend to believe this is true when in real it is
not. Just think of the lives of people that are
at stake because of drunk driving. As much as
these crimes were not treated with the deserved
seriousness some years ago, times have changed
and it is clear many lives were lost during those
times. It is simply a serious offense.

3. Any lawyer can defend an accused drunk
driver This is what many people and even lawyers
themselves believe. The truth however is that
this case needs a specialized DUI DWI lawyer
who is an expert in that field. If you are
caught in the fix, do not just run to any lawyer
in town to represent you just find the right
professional. You may take time but ensure you
get the right professional representation.

4. DUI and DWI cases cannot be won Many people
actually believe that these cases cannot be won.
The truth however is that many experienced
professional DUI DWI lawyers do win these cases
and the accused walks out of the courtrooms
freely. So many cases have been acquitted thanks
to professional representation.

5. These cases are just like any other criminal
offenses This is the reason why many people run
to general criminal lawyers for representation
when they rather should seek the services of
specialists. The manner in which DUI and DWI
cases are handled is totally different from other
criminal offenses.

6. You wont be charged if you refused take the
breath test Trying to refuse the sobriety test
might work against you in ways you dont want to
imagine. It is important that you adhere to the
request of the law enforcement officers. May be
it would work in your favor although you know you
took some drinks back in the office.
11
7. The police dont lie Remain silent or
whatever you say may be used against you in a
court of law, this is a common saying. Talking
too much with the police officer may be a trap
for you to utter something that they will use
against you. It is better to talk to your DUI
DWI lawyer lest you get yourself screwed up.
12
8.  It is a good idea to lie about the amount of
alcohol consumed to the police officers It is
overly bad to try to cover up your mistakes. Some
officers will get to the bottom line in finding
the truth if they realize you are lying to them
and this could work against you in ways you cant
imagine

9. You can only be arrested if your BAC is over
0.08 Despite the fact that this is the legal
limit set for intoxication, younger guys of less
than 21 years can be arrested of drunk driving
even if the BAC is lower than 0.08
14
10. Using mouthwash or breath spray can help
trick the breath test Alcohol only gets out of
your system with time. So no matter what you
take, the breathalyzers will detect the presence
of alcohol or other drugs in your system 11. You
cannot be arrested for DUI unless you show signs
of drunkenness A police officer will arrest you
upon establishing a probable cause. Even if you
dont show signs of drunkenness and your BAC is
above 0.08, you will have to be arrested.
