Skilled Representation by a DWI Lawyer After a DWI Arrest
A DWI is a serious offense that can threaten your livelihood, reputation, and freedom, so it’s important to hire an experienced DWI lawyer immediately. Even misdemeanor DWI charges present possible jail time, ranging from 30 days to 6 months. A third or subsequent offense is classified as a felony under Louisiana law, with possible jail time ranging from 1-5 years for a third offense and 10-30 years for a fourth and subsequent offense. Moreover, the accused also has to defend against a possible suspended licence by participating in an administrative hearing with the Louisiana Division of Administrative Law. Louisiana law requires different burdens of proof when defending against jail time in criminal court and a suspended license with the division of administrative law. That is why it is important to immediately retain a DWI lawyer who has the experience and a trained eye for examining the evidence gathered against you and the pertinent law to mount a defense against your charges.
