- Being charged with DWI, you should know the effects of being intoxicated while driving and take responsibility of your inappropriate and dismissive action. Know that once being charged for DWI forget about the consideration that there is any chance of claiming ‘Not Guilty’. There is not even a shred of justification which can allow you to defend yourself in cases of DWI.
The first step to consider while facing DWI charges is to approach the relevant personnel who deal with such similar cases. So therefore make an effort to visit a lawyer who specializes in dealing with specifically DWI cases and no other.
Since a DWI lawyer will have more knowledge of how to attend to service than an ordinary lawyer. Be prepared for a tough, gruesome battle while on DWI since the jury is not at all sympathetic with DWI convicts. So there is no point of feeling regret or awe, you should have been proactive about the whole scenario from the very start.
What to look in a DWI lawyer?
Now obviously there are a number of issues in which lawyers specialize in and make it their major of field. However, while facing such charges you cannot approach any kind of lawyer, you have to approach to a very specific lawyer dealing with DWI.

How the Prosecution Prove the BAC Level? »
By the drunk driving laws to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or while having a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or higher has been made a criminal offense. However, to be under the influence or to have a BAC of .08% while taking a breath test in a police station an hour or two AFTER driving is not a criminal offense. So how it is proved by the prosecution that what was the BAC when the defendant was driving? Now that’s a problem.
In a DUI case by projecting backwards, using average alcohol absorption and elimination rates you can try to guess what the BAC was, but that is only a very inaccurate guess. This process of guessing is called “retrograde extrapolation” which is a fancy name for trying to guess backwards. Now here the problem is that everyone has a different metabolism, and even in a given person alcohol will metabolize at different rates that depends on many variables.

Truth, Justice…and DUI Politics »
It is known by any experienced criminal attorney that when dealing with a drunk driving offense truth, justice and fairness can be rare commodities in our courts. This thing has has become such a common phenomena that now a label has been acquired by it and that is: "The DUI exception to the Constitution". When it comes to cases that involves driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, it looks like there is a distinct bias in favor of "streamlining" procedures and facilitating convictions.
It might be suggested by the cynics that this may have something to do with political considerations with the desire of some judges to get reelected. We will discuss that about that in a moment….. Right now, let’s take a look at an example of what kind of thinking goes on in a DUI case in the judicial mind. In fact, let us take example from the highest court of the most populated state in the country: the Supreme Court of California.

Due Process and Automatic DUI License Suspensions »
So last night you were stopped by the cops and then they arrested you for drunk driving. And just after the Breathalyzer showed that the reading of a blood-alcohol level was .12%, the officer take away your driver’s license and gave you a piece of paper on which it was mentioned that your license was immediately suspended.
Here several questions comes in your mind that you might be wanted to ask, you may ask that what happened?. Are they allowed to do that? I thought I was believed to be innocent, and it is necessary for the state to prove my guilt that should be beyond a reasonable doubt before that they can punish me. And I remember something about "due process": Are they able to suspend my license for DUI before giving me a chance to defend myself?

What is the DUI Exception to the Constitution? »
Here on this website we will tell you about the other side of the story….
For years we had hear about the “slaughter on the nation’s highways”, we have also read tragic stories of people dying as a result of fatal hit by drunk drivers.
Pressure groups such as MADD have gained wild success in fomenting public hysteria and, and no politician could ever had such courage to oppose them, they have been pushing through ever stricter DUI laws and most harsh punishments. As a result of all these things, we are given a repeated assurance that the number of “alcohol related” traffic fatalities have continued to decrease dramatically.
